The payroll manager don't want to pay me for the last 4th of July Holliday!. He told me that office was closed and I did not work that day. Is this is correct? last year I was here for the same holliday and he always paid for all the hollidays and now he did this.

This is a company policy issue. Check the company policy and go from there. If it is a small company, it might cost you more than it is worth to squeeze the money out of him. It would have to be won on technicalities.
If he's paid in the past, it isn't very nice to refuse to pay this time around. Make sure you understand what he is communicating.

Payment for holidays when you don't work is not required unless you have a contract or agreement that says they are. If the company has a personnel policy manual, holidays should be addressed there.
Most employers pay for some (defined by them, in policy manual if there is one) holidays as long as you don't call off on the working day immediately before or after the holiday - if you do, many employers do not pay holiday pay.
There are lots of legal holidays - very few employers give employees off with pay for all of them.
That said, it would have been reasonable for him to announce ahead of time that the rules were changing this year. Not legally required, but more fair.

Do you mean that you worked the last Fourth of July and he is refusing to pay you for the day worked? At least in the state of California (possibly also Federal, I'm not certain), I believe that even if you crawled in through the transom and worked they have to pay you. I would start by asking the Labor Commission. It would be about unpaid wages if you "suffered to work" on that day..

Do you have an employment contract that says you will be paid for holidays?
Or an employee handbook that says you are entitled to be paid for those days? Were you notified of a change in policy?
An employer is free to change their policy at any time, and unless you have something that guarantees you will be paid (like you belong to a union or have a contract) you are pretty much out of luck.

Well if the office is closed an you don't have to work on that day why should you still get paid for it?

Are you full time or part time? If you are part time, he doesn't have to pay you.
I beleive it's up to a company what holidays they will pay you for and what they won't. Getting paid for legal holidays is a benefit, not a right.

It's up to the boss, if you get holiday pay
if you want to get paid for all holidays get a government job
