State employees are given paid days off on holidays. In addition, each state employee is given a Personal Preference Day that may be scheduled in accordance with Department of Human Resources Management rules. There are no laws that require private employers to give paid holidays. Private employers are also not required to pay higher rates of pay if an employee must work on a holiday or to count unworked holiday hours toward overtime pay.
