Is there a law that I get paid double time or triple time when I work a holiday?

No, employers are not required to pay double time or triple time for holidays.  If an employer has a written contract or policy that employees will be paid double time or triple time for holidays, then the employer is obligated to pay employees as required by the written contract or policy.  

The answers provided are not meant to be a substitute for legal advice.
