We get 11 holidays off each year without pay. My sister gets the same 11 holidays off, and she gets paid for all of them. Is my employer breaking the law because he’s not paying us for these holidays when he’s required to, even though we don’t work on any of them?

No, your employer is not breaking the law. There is nothing in state law that mandates that employees be paid for holidays that are not worked.
