Also, I have a contract w/ my employer for a 4-day 32 hr work week w/ 7 paid holidays a year. I was just told that in order to get my holidays paid, I would have to work on my usual day-off on the week before and the week after the holiday. Same was applied to our hourly employees. Is that legal? Where should I go to obtain more information about this issue?

If you have an actual contract then it will be stated in the contract. It doesn't sound like you have a contract, otherwise, none of this would be an issue.....and if you do not have a contract....then you'll need to read your HR policies/procedures. Most companies require you work the day before and the day after a holiday (or be on scheduled vacation time) in order for them to pay you for the holiday.
I've never heard of any salaried employee hitting a time clock, but with all the overtime lawsuits hitting companies right now, I wouldn't be surprised if you were.
You can obtain additional info by contacting your state's wage and hour board and/or eeoc.

No, as a salaried employee you have different rules/guidelines than other employees. (hourly) But the best place to get this info would be the labor board of your state.

the working the day before and after the Holiday is a law they have to follow. made by the labor board most companys fall in certain categories of rules and laws they must adhere to, my company does the same things with holidays
the clocking in/out is done for attendance records they must also keep by law for taxes and other reasons like that. i know it is stupid to have to clock in but they have to have you do it for their records to show that your there on all the days they claim.

Sounds like it is legal. Even salaried people are asked to clock in so that hours can be verified. You can talk to your labor board.

As for punching in and out, I think that it is a legal issue for workman's compensation.
The vacation issue is usually a company policy issue. I think that it is a poor policy.

See your state employment commission. It's probably legal.
