Time and a half and double time?

Information re: overtime in British Columbia:

It looks like you would get overtime for hours 8 to 12, and then double time for hours 12 to 15.

How is overtime calculated?
If you work more than 8 hours in a day, you get one and a half times your regular wages for the next 4 hours worked, and double time for anything over 12 hours of work.

Unless you have a flexible schedule through your work...
