How cna they make you work the holiday, day before and after when one or more may be your regular day off. And do not give you any holiday pay or less than minimum wage. Do you have the right to refuse. Or is there a way to get your pay coming?

Let's see if I can make this clear:

There is NO law that treats holidays different from any other day in the private sector workplace. The decision to offer special holiday wages - the decision to pay employees an extra day's pay in celebration of a holiday - the decision to give an employee an extra day off if they agree to work on a holday - the decision to pay time and a half, double time, whatever....

Is entirely up to the discretion of company ownership and management.

It's that simple.

Sure, many companies offer their employees special arrangements for the holiday - these things are called "perks" and they're used by employers to make their jobs more attractive and keep their employees happy. But NO company is required to do so - and no company is required to give you a day off just because it's a holiday.

By the way, this includes Christmas, New Year's, the 4th of July, Martin Luther King Day, Thanksgiving, and every other holiday you can think of.

(Most) Federal employees receive these days off, because (most) government offices are closed on those days. Certain unionized employees receive holidays off because their union-negotiated contract establishes certain days as non-working holidays. These contracts often stipulate special pay rates that are paid to workers who agree to work on those days.

As a non-salaried employee, you work at the sufference of your employer. If you refuse to work the shift that you are assigned because it is a "holiday", your employer has the unquestioned legal right to terminate your employment.

You may not like this answer, but unlike some of the other answers that you're going to receive, it's the truth!

You can also end up looking for another job, however turning your employer in to the State Employment System will change the employer on down the line for someone else . There are laws, you could also ask questions at the BetterBusinessBureau.
You can find a better job!
