As a contractor the pay structure for the jobs I worked was time + 1/2 for anything over 40 hours. Double time for anything over 60 hours. Double time + 1/2 was over 60 hours on weekend and holiday together.
Every contract is different, but this was fairly standard in my industry. And keep in mind this was usually DoD and/or Aircraft work. And they LOVE to throw money away.
"Casual overtime" was for direct salaried employees. At the places I was working, you had to work 45 hours before you were paid additional, and that was usually at straight time. Example: You work up to 45 hours, you get your normal check. Work 50 hours and you're paid for 45 at your calculated straight time rate. There was no time + 1/2 for salaried. So you're essentially "donating" 5 hours to the company.
It should also be noted that after you reach a certain level or pay grade (usually a manager, director or higher), this no longer applies.
