What happens when a public holiday falls on a Sunday or Saturday in US Virgin Islands?

The official source states: 1 V.I.C. s.171(a), as quoted in the Division of Personnel handbook: 'Whenever any holiday (other than Sunday) falls upon a Sunday, the Monday shall be a legal holiday.'

Do I get paid extra for working on a public holiday in US Virgin Islands?

That is set by the labour law and your contract, not by the holiday list. A common set-up is a paid day off, with a premium or a day in lieu when you work the holiday. Our public holiday pay guide explains the usual arrangements with worked examples; confirm the rule for your workplace with the labour department or payroll.
