Typically yes, hourly wage earners get holiday pay for working on holidays:

§ 532.507 Pay for holiday work.

(a) An employee who is entitled to holiday premium pay and who performs work on a holiday which is not overtime work shall be paid the employee's rate of basic pay plus premium pay at a rate equal to the rate of basic pay.

(b) An employee shall be paid for overtime work performed on a holiday at the same rate as for overtime on other workdays.

(c) An employee who is entitled to holiday premium pay and who is required to report for work on a holiday shall be paid at least two hours of holiday pay whether or not work is actually performed.

Most hourly wage earners are entitled to holiday premium pay. Salaried workers are typically not.

    You're mistaken - this is only applicable to federal government employees

    Walmart is absolutely not paying a dime extra to their employees

    There are many private companies that may offer holiday pay but it's not a requirement
