No, They are required to pay 1.5 after 40 hours, thats all. Any additional would be optional by the employer.

You have the right not to work on a bank holiday and your employers can't force you. But if you do choose to work a holiday then you have to negotiate the pay rate or additional benefits yourself to come to a mutual agreement. It is after all for the employers benefit that employees give up their right to a bank holiday so there should be some form of thank you from the employers.

No, not unless it's in your contract. but... if on a bank holiday your employer closes your place of work so that you cannot attend, then you should suffer no detriment, in which case you will still receive your wage even though you haven't worked. Again though, this is specific to your contract. In the UK your statutory rights to holiday are 4 weeks and this can include bank holidays. Check your contract of employment and your employee handbook first and find out what you agreed to when you signed up.

Employers by law do not even have to pay overtime.There are so many loopholes in the law. There is no law concerning double time although as an incentive to employees, some employers offer it.

No, there is no law for bank holiday work. I think it's just to do with how many hours a week you work. Once you go over a certain amount of hours (something like 40), then you have to get paid overtime

no, some employers pay holiday pay, but have stipulations with it.
one company would pay holiday pay, but you had to show up for work your scheduled day before and after the holiday.
so let's say it's july 4th (tues) and you're scheduled to work sun, tues, wed. then you have to show up sun, tues and wed to get holiday pay. if you call out any of those days, then you don't get the holiday pay.
i've worked at alot of companies that don't pay anything for holiday, though....
it's not a legal matter, just a corporate policy.

No - you need to check your original contract and see what you agreed to.
In my contract it states that if I work a bank hol then I get time off in lieu or same pay as normal. It sucks. Thats why it always pays to read the contract.

Certainly not in all countries, states. An example: license plate manufacturers ( can stay in their cells on bank hollidays.)
