state law? was just curious,
i was told by someone who insists that it is a state law(texas) that corporations/business'/whatever are supposed to pay their employees time and a half for working on federal holidays. is this true? im asking because i work for a pretty good sized corporation and im having to work on thanksgiving. the only holiday we get payed extra for working is christmas day.
anyone? and if this is true, who would i report this to?
am i getting ripped?

The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) sets minimum wage, overtime pay, equal pay, recording keeping and child labor standards for workers who are covered by the Act.
With respect to overtime, the FLSA requires overtime payment of one-and-one-half times an employee's regular rate of pay for hours worked in excess of 40 hours in a workweek.
The FLSA does not require:
Premium pay for weekend or holiday work
Premium pay for work in excess of eight hours per day
Vacation, holiday, severance or sick pay
Meals or rest periods, holidays off, or vacations
