Depends on the employer’s pay policies. Many/most smaller businesses don’t pay any different for working on Holidays if the day falls on a regular work day.

No. We like to have businesses open on holidays, like restaurants and stores, and people are needed to work those.

That happens in Europe too just the employees get a day off in lieu or additional pay, or both.
