    I was surprised how many places are apparently open today. Are you getting extra pay for working the holiday?

      Typically yes, hourly wage earners get holiday pay for working on holidays:

      § 532.507 Pay for holiday work.

      (a) An employee who is entitled to holiday premium pay and who performs work on a holiday which is not overtime work shall be paid the employee’s rate of basic pay plus premium pay at a rate equal to the rate of basic pay.

      (b) An employee shall be paid for overtime work performed on a holiday at the same rate as for overtime on other workdays.

      © An employee who is entitled to holiday premium pay and who is required to report for work on a holiday shall be paid at least two hours of holiday pay whether or not work is actually performed.

      https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-5/chapter-I/subchapter-B/part-532/subpart-E/section-532.507

      Most hourly wage earners are entitled to holiday premium pay. Salaried workers are typically not.

        You’re mistaken - this is only applicable to federal government employees

        Walmart is absolutely not paying a dime extra to their employees

        There are many private companies that may offer holiday pay but it’s not a requirement
