Most industry awards actually make it 250% of base rate.

Fuck, you Americans are getting ripped off. Here the legal minimum is 2.25x pay for public holidays (Australia)
1.5x? Are ya serious? That’s like the lowest tier of overtime. Or sunday penalty rates.
For real, I can’t believe people aren’t even getting that.
(Illegal underpayment still happening here, aside).

I guess not retail, which I randomly plucked out to get some numbers. I also thought 2.5x ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Even then, it’s by state. Some states have no holiday pay.

I once worked a job where if I was five minutes late or had to leave early the shift before or the shift after a holiday I would forfeit my holiday pay. That’s when I learned that holiday pay isn’t guaranteed in the states. Never worked another holiday at that job again.

Only Rhode island and Massachusetts have it for hourly workers.
