There is no requirement, even in California, for a company to pay for holidays.

It is not unusual (particularly in manufacturing) for companies to set requirements for employees to be paid whatever holidays the company observes, such as working the day before and the day after the holiday.

Also, there are docking restrictions associated with Exempt Salaried employees only (29 CFR 541.602) that make it very unlikely that an Exempt Salaried employee only cannot be paid for a holiday. Other types of employees generally do not have such restrictions.
