You may need to recheck the provisions. There can be a reference of double the rate of hourly wages or overtime, not double day, as that doesnot have any relevance.
Further, there is a difference between the terms "can have" and "can also have." Can have does not mean that compensatory off should also be allowed if there is a provision of payment of double rate.
So, only one type of compensation is permissible, either in the shape of double the rate or off in lieu of duty, not the compensatory off in addition to the double payment.
