Go to your state gov site (ie NY, MA, CA etc...) and then look into labor laws for national holidays.

go to www.dol.gov
Gets you into the Department of Labor official website-
it has sections on wage and hour laws, overtime laws, legal holidays, etc. Some of it is extremely hard to interpret, but at the bottom of the homepage is a section on "frequently asked questions"
I think this is your best bet as employers can vary from one to another what they pay as "legal" holidays-most government employees are paid for the usual 6 (New Year's Day, Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day) plus Veteren's Day, Flag Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day,etc.
If you're interested in a religious holiday, the employer doesn't have to give holiday pay but will usually respect the request for the day off (if scheduling allows) but may not be legally bound to pay for it. Elaine L. Chao is the Secretary of Labor and I would directly email HER if you can't find the specfic answer.

I dont know about labor law holidays but federal bank holidays are listed on most banking sites. I did a search for fed bank holidays and found the days I would be off!

you don't need one... I can tell you straight up. It's this simple: under NO circumstances is anyone required to pay you for one minute of work you didn't do. Vacations, sick time, holdays (legal or otherwise) and any paid time off at all, are purely at the discression of the employer. So, if what your looking for is the law that requires your employer to give you a day off with pay for a legal holiday.....there isn't one.

Of course there is.
There are many websites.
Type in " USA LABOR LAWS" this will give you a variety of websites.

I agree on the EEOC answer, and you may also do a search on your engine of choice, OR you could consult your local attorney and ask them about it.
