No. Paid holidays came from labor unions, and have no federal law that requires an employer to provide anyone a paid holiday, sick time or vacation. You may want to research your state, but without a union contract there is probably no requirement for anyone at your company to be given those benefits. There are no paid holidays. There are no national holidays. Employers can compel workers to work on Christmas, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, etc. without extra pay, just the usual pay per hour.

To answer this, you need to know how many work days there are in one year. That depends on the company, its definition of a work week, and its number of allowable paid nonwork days (holidays, PTO, sick days, etc.). Employers and specific jobs can vary widely in this. One company could have 4-day work weeks, 10 paid holidays, and 21 days' PTO. Another could have 5-day work weeks, 8 paid holidays, and 15 days' PTO. Different answers, you see? Then multiply by 9.
