Are Employees Entitled to Pay for Holiday, Sicktime and Vacations?
In New York, employees are not entitled to be paid for holidays, sick time or vacations. Also, there is no rule requiring extra pay for working on a holiday. Some companies, however, have policies that provide employees with pay for holidays, sick time and even vacation pay. If your company has such a policy, you then have the right to be paid according to its terms. But, under the law in New York, you are only entitled to be paid for the time that you actually work and for overtime pay for each hour worked in excess of 40 per work week.
