Yes, salaried employees can receive double time pay in certain situations, but it depends on company policies and state labor laws. Generally, salaried employees who are classified as exempt under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) are not entitled to overtime or double time. However, non-exempt salaried employees may qualify for additional pay if they work beyond a specific threshold, such as weekends, holidays, or excessive overtime hours.
Some employers voluntarily offer double time for extended shifts or holiday work as an incentive, even if not legally required. States such as California have strong labor rules that require double time for hours over 12 in a day or more than eight on the seventh consecutive workday.
To determine eligibility, employees should consult their employment contracts, company rules, or state labor regulations. If you are confused about your compensation rights, speak with HR or a labor attorney.

Salaried employees can qualify for overtime based on their job duties - method of payment is irrelevant to that decision, only duties matter. Private employees can never get comp time in lieu of overtime. Government employees can't get comp time unless the employer offers it in a written policy. Governments cannot be compelled to offer comp time.
Exempt employees are 'exempt' from federal overtime rules and regulations, based on specific qualifications put forth by FLSA rules. (Executives, professionals, etc.) Non-Exempt employees are paid by the hour, and are subject to federal overtime rules (time and a half, for all hours worked over 40 in a pay week.) All hourly employees are non-exempt, all exempt employees are salaried, but not all salaried employees are exempt. Salaried employees must pass specific FLSA criteria to be categorized as 'Exempt', and therefore exempt from overtime rules.
If an employee is salaried then they have a fixed amount of pay per pay period so working fewer hours per week wouldn't change the pay. It wouldn't really make sense for a company to reduce the hours of salaried employees in order to save payroll costs. Salaried employees have reached a level of professionalism where they don't punch a time card. If someone is keeping track of hours for an employee, then they are most likely NOT salaried.
You can be, it depends. Whether or not you are a salaried employee is something that you should know based on the way you get paid and your work schedule. If you get paid hourly, you are not a salaried employee.Whether you are salaried depends on your job duties ... not on how often you get paid. All overtime exempt employees must be paid for full days. Still, one could work three or four days a week at a properly salaried exempt job and be a part-timer.

No. Generally, full-time, salaried employees can expect to receive benefits like health insurance, but hourly, part-time or freelance workers cannot. This varies with the company, however, so it's always a good idea to inquire if this is a deciding factor in accepting a job offer.
Jobs that operate on a fixed interval schedule are those where employees receive reinforcement or rewards at consistent time intervals, regardless of performance. Examples include hourly wage positions, such as factory workers or retail staff, who receive regular paychecks. Additionally, salaried positions in administrative roles may also align with fixed intervals, where employees are compensated biweekly or monthly. This schedule often leads to predictable patterns of behavior, as employees may increase productivity as paydays approach.
Requiring salaried employees, or even union employees, to use vacation time if they want to be paid during a plant shut down is a common practice, and therefore presumably acceptable. The specifics, of course, will depend on the specific jurisdiction in which the company is located and the employee works.
There are no state or federal laws that require your employer to offer health insurance. They can decide to offer plans to full time employees only. They can decide to offer to salaried employees only.
