No. I live in VA, and I've never been payed time and a half for working on a federal holiday. It seems like a provision left up to the individual businesses to decide on giving or not.

I think that is a law in the country for all government workers. I'm not sure if it is a law for private companies, but I think it is.
By the way, federal laws are laws of the national government, also called the federal government.

In most cases, you are either given 2.5x your normal pay - or 1.5x (time-and-a-half) PLUS an extra day off to compensate for the day you WERE supposed to be off...
Of course, this all depends on the company policy - as well as State law. Federal Law (I believe...) only states which specific DAYS are national holidays...
Also, essential services such as Fire, Police, Medical Staff, and Transit Workers follow different rules - as these particular services can NEVER stop completely ;);)

Federal Law applies to everyone in the USA and its dependencies. You have not given us enough information to answer the question. Go to Google and check "federal overtime laws."
It depends upon such things as whether you are salaried or hourly, and what you do. If you are a supervisor at McD, I don't think you qualify for mandatory time and a half.

I wasn't aware states could have Federal laws.

I don't believe so, but I am not sure; Virginia is a "right to work" state, so if your employer asks you to do something you do not wish to do, you can just walk away without giving any notice.....your employer can also terminate you without notice, for any (legal) reason or for no reason at all.
