That's entirely up to your employer. There's no legal requirement for paid holidays.

Holidays, like other benefits, depend on the employer's policy - it's not a matter of law. Check your employee manual or ask HR department. Even if you're working for a small company, they should have some kind of policy on who is eligible for holiday pay. Part timers often aren't. And 32 hours might be considered part time, depending on the employer. Some companies pro-rate such things as vacation and holiday pay for part-timers, but not all, and they're not required to.

That would depend on entirely on what the benefits are for full and part-time employees and what your employer considers full-time. My suggestion would be to ask them. It's also possible that you might negotiate for paid holidays at a reduced time(5 or 6 hours instead of 8) Good luck!

I work in healthcare and they have a CTO (cummulitive time offered) bank. After so many worked hours the hours for your personal bank accumalates. Then you use the hours there to pay for your time off on holidays. It kinda seems unfair. I guess that regulates how often employess choose take time off and whether they want to get paid or not.
It is frustrating to not get paid for work, most people I know don't like there jobs+and getting paid always boosts moral.

Yes I agree with the other answer, your employer decides if you should get paid holidays..not you, that's just the rules of the job, it sucks, but if you don't work 40 hours ya don't get paid!!
