The law in the UK does not specify anything other than the minimum wage.
Whether or not you get paid double time or whatever is down how strongly you can negotiate for this benefit and how fair your employer is.
There is no legal right to any higher rate of pay for overtime or bank holidays/Sundays.

Usual rates for over time are time and a half unless it is a bank holiday or a Sunday. These days are paid at Double time. but each employer can set their own rates. There is no law govening the rates of pay for overtime. Some employers will only pay time and a third. It is best to ask what rates are being paid for overtime before you decide.

In my experience it has usually been time and a half for anything over 8 or over 40 and double time on sundays or holidays. I guess It can vary depending on local regulations and also the type of job, for instance fire or police etc. Also if the job pays straight salary.

Generally it is time and a half for work after the normal hours, also fo Saturday work. Double time is for Sundays. If you work on a bank holiday it is double time and a day off in lue or triple time and no day off.

In the US overtime as far as the Department of Labor is concerned is anything over 40 hours in your defined work week. It doesn't matter when in the week you work. You can work 40 hours straight and you won't get a dime of overtime unless you work more at some other point in the week.
