Is Saturday work straight time or overtime?
On a public work, Saturday work is overtime and must be paid at one-and-a-half times the straight time basic rate. The prevailing wage rates published include a rate for Saturday. Even if the worker did not work forty hours Monday through Friday, the Saturday work must be paid at the prevailing wage overtime rate. Sunday and Holiday rates are higher.
