Neither the Birthday Holiday nor the Floating Holiday is paid out at termination. No federal or Florida law requires employers to pay employees for holidays, except of course, if the employee actually works on the holiday.In the State of Florida, there are no laws that require private sector employers to provide employees with either paid or unpaid holiday leave. Employees are not entitled to holiday pay in Florida. Some employers offer it as a work benefit. Florida does not require private employers to provide paid or unpaid time off for holidays or to pay extra (such as double time) for work performed on holidays. Under Florida law, an employer is not required to pay any holiday wages. The law only requires you to ensure employee agreements are met and followed. The FLSA does not require overtime pay for work on weekends, holidays, or regular days of rest, unless overtime is worked on such days. This allows employees to take unpaid leave for various reasons, with the right to reinstatement to their former position.
