I MUST TELL YOU HOW PEOPLE CARE ABOUT STUFF I DONT AND BE A COMPLETE CUNT ABOUT IT

In many industries work on Saturday or Sunday will attract a premium on the ordinary hourly rate. Sunday work is usually paid at double the ordinary rate. However some workplace agreements have averaged out the weekday/weekend difference in rates. In some industries when working on the weekend the employee is entitled to extra paid work breaks.

Except the government is trying to cut that out! But yes, I know people who get double on Sunday.

This is not that uncommon in the U.S. for people working in non-exempt jobs. (Construction trades.)

Anything over 40 hours is typically 1.5 rate
Anything over... 60 hours or holidays is.... 2x rate, I think.

Different states also have their own laws, as well as certain cities.
