A bill to amend the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 to require employers to compensate employees working on a legal public holiday for such work at a rate that is not less than one and one-half times the regular rate at which the employee is employed, and for other purposes.

This bill would amend the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 to establish a new requirement for holiday pay. Under the proposed change, employers would be required to compensate employees who work on legal public holidays at a rate of at least one and one-half times the employee's regular hourly rate. This is similar to overtime pay requirements that currently apply to hours worked beyond 40 per week.

If enacted, this bill would affect millions of workers across the country who work on holidays such as New Year's Day, Independence Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Currently, federal law does not require employers to pay premium rates for holiday work, though some states and employers voluntarily offer such compensation. The bill aims to standardize holiday pay protections across the country by making it a federal requirement for all employers covered under the Fair Labor Standards Act.
