Back in the good ole days when things were really booming and there were subdivisions going up everywhere the work was plentyful.The foreman or headlineman would usually ask everyone on a tuesday if they wanted to work saturday or sunday..sat being 1.5 and sunday being double time.This continued for a couple of years or more,the catch sometimes was that if you didnt work saturday,you couldnt work sunday.The majority of the work was urd make-up,back when the utilities did their own make-up.....That was a guaranteed 32 hrs or more each paycheck,plus the 1 hour lunches.

When we worked sat and sun in new Zealand .... It was all double time. " unless it rained.."
THEN IT WAS TREBLE TIME..
And we got 12hrs guarantee,d each day... So of it was a wet weekend you could get 72 hrs pay for the two days....
