The US has no federal requirement to pay for unworked hours, be they sick or holiday time off work.
“Federal” is the weasel word here. All states have their own requirements, including sick time, holiday time, and how long you can go without a break. Also, I’ve never seen an employer not offer PTO. Even your local McDonalds has paid vacation for full-time employees.
While I wish it was codified into federal law, your implication that nobody has vacation time in the US is patently false.
That wasn’t my implication, it was a statement of fact. You can call it a weasel word if you want but it’s weird given it is true.
Let’s look to maternity and parental leave if you would like, another case where the US is stuck in the stone age…but I am super glad for you guys and how productive you are, it must really help you all bond with your kids.
