When is a guard compensated at 'double-time'?

A guard is compensated at 'double-time' for all hours worked in excess of 12 hours in any workday due to labor regulations that govern overtime pay. This provision is designed to ensure that employees who work significantly longer hours than the standard workday are adequately compensated for their additional time and effort.

Under California labor laws, once an employee exceeds 12 hours of work in a single day, they are entitled to double their regular hourly rate for every hour worked beyond that threshold. This is established to encourage employers to manage work schedules more effectively and to recognize the physical and mental strain of extended work hours.

The other options pertain to different situations regarding overtime pay but do not correct align with the criteria for 'double-time' compensation. For example, while guards may receive overtime pay for hours worked over 8 in a day or on weekends, it is the excessive hours beyond 12 in a workday that specifically qualify for double-time compensation as per California law.
