Does working on the weekends or holidays always count as overtime?

If i have a part time job somewhere and i work on a saturday, are all the hours I work automatically counted as overtime? also, does overtime mean they pay double? (even if it is not over the 40 hours a week by california law)

NO

in california overtime is:
1&1/2 times reg. rate for over 8 hours a day(regardless of total for the week)
1&1/2 time reg. rate for over 40 hours in a week
1&1/2 time reg. rate for the first 8 hours of the seventh day worked of a workweek(regardless of total hours for the week)
2 times reg. rate for over 12 hours a day(regardless of total for the week)
2 times reg. rate for over 8 hours of the seventh day worked of a workweek(regardless of total hours for the week)

there are no requirements for overtime pay for holidays, weekends, scheduled days off etcetera.

No.

Overtime is usually over 8 hours in a single day or 40 hours in a week.

It doesn't matter what days you actually work.................

nope! not count as overtime if you job normally works on those days...same with holidays. if they are normally open on holidays they do not have to pay overtime.

Most states (except California) follow federal overtime laws which is 1 1/2 times your base rate for "work performed" over 40 hours per regular work week. There is no federal law for "double time".

No, if it's not over 40 hours a week (or in CA, over 8 hours a day) then you don't get overtime pay.

No, overtime means just that... over regular hours. If your contract states you get holiday or weekend pay differential, that would be the increase in pay.
