Check your employee handbook. It should state the company's policy regarding holiday pay. If you don't have one, ask the HR department.

depends mostly on the company and there requirements. mostly a 90 day waiting period first. and so forth. Some companies are required 24/7 for some reason, and if they give you July 3 off in place of July 4 than no double pay for July 4th unless they are generous
working hours are also up in the air most will count it as working hours

"Public" holidays are determined by your employer. If you are a salaried employee or full time employee, most likely yes. The best thing to do is ask your employer for a "Holiday Schedule". They usually make one available to ALL employees at the beginning of each year.
As an example, I am a salaried employee—we do not have Martin Luther King day off (Public Holiday), but we do have Presidents Day off. Go figure.

i don't think any labor law requires any entity pays double on holidays, if you talk about overtime then it is a totally different story.
