When theres a holiday at my place of employment the office shuts down but I don't get paid. Is this legal, and where can I find resources on this?

All your employer is legaly bound to pay is hours worked.

Of course it's legal. Your employer is not obligated to pay you to not work unless he agreed to beforehand.
Paid holidays are a benefit that some employers offer. It's not a right.
If you think this is unfair, then look for a new job -- and make sure to ask about holidays if that's important to you.

to answer the criminal section, we would p.c. to appreciate the place you're as regulations can variety. interior the U. S., Federal regulation decrease than the honest exertions standards Act facilitates companies to handle Salaried (or Exempt) workers in yet in a various way from Hourly workers. it isn't any longer required to furnish Salaried workers holiday Pay or perhaps Over-Time pay. There are regulations that define what an Exempt worker is, yet in maximum situations, administration and expert positions are exempt. Tony

Completely legal. He can close the business at will...he could even close it for the entire 12 days of Christmas and leave you unpaid.

Getting paid for holidays is a benefit. Some pay it, some don't. It is not illegal not to pay it.

Dear,
It's up to the contract which you have signed with your current company.
