2.5 times for public holidays (double time for Sundays, 1.5 times for Saturdays) but I believe our company has changed it so that one only gets paid extra if one has already worked a full 40 hour work week. It's been a year since I worked a weekend.
Salaried professional. If I have to work on a holiday, which sometimes happens because our courts are sometimes open on recognized holidays, I would be entitled to take another day off.
In my current job a holiday worked is just like any other day. Years ago I had a Union job which would pay 1 day's pay for the holiday worked or not. If I worked that was time and a half with guaranteed 8 hour minimum. I used to love holidays. Double time and a half.
Generally any overtime is time and a half.
Holidays are really double time but no one works holidays!
I used to work a job that only paid comp time for overtime and that was 1 for 1. We had one supervisor who was pretty cool and would give us time and a half comp time but she really wasn't supposed to.
I get something like 10 paid holidays. If I work on those days I am either given comp time or am paid out at 2.5x my regular pay rate. I usually wind up working.
Double time for a holiday or if I pick up a shift from somebody else, double time and a half. I can also take comp time.
