I  don't know California law but most places just pay you for an extra day  if you are scheduled to be off on a Holiday.  Maybe even overtime or  double time.  However being on Salary- as I am, I don't think they are  required to do anything- since you are paid the same no matter how many  hours you work.

There are no laws in the US regarding paid holidays for employees of private companies.  Whether you get a paid day off is completely up to the employer. You should ask them.

If  you're paid a salary, then no.  If you get paid hourly, then maybe, based on the policies of the  business you work for. Some businesses provide the day off with pay,  some do not. There is no law requiring paid day off.  If working on that day, you'll get time-and-a-half, if a full time  employee.

Since you are salary, you get paid whether or  not you work.  What pay would you expect to get?  You cannot get paid  commission if you didn't earn it.  Companies in all states are not required to pay for holidays, but many  do in order to attract employees.  This should be addressed in your  employee handbook.

Nope  Q. Last week I worked eight hours on the 4th of July holiday, which fell  on Wednesday.  For the whole week I worked 40 hours.  When I got my  paycheck this week I was paid for 40 hours at my straight time rate.   ArenĂ¢€™t I entitled to extra pay, of at least double time, for working  on a holiday?     A. There is nothing in state law that mandates an employer pay an  employee a special premium for work performed on holidays, Saturdays, or  Sundays, other than the overtime premium required for work in excess of  eight hours in a workday or 40 hours in a workweek. Unless your  employer has a policy or practice of paying a premium rate for working  on a holiday, or you are subject to a collective bargaining or  employment agreement that contains such a term, your employer is only  required to pay you your regular rate of pay for all the straight time  hours worked on the holiday, and the overtime premium required for work  in excess of eight hours in a workday or 40 hours in a workweek. Since  you did not work over eight hours on the holiday, or more than 40 hours  during the workweek, you were paid correctly.

It's all up to your company policy. My bet is you don't get anything extra.
