Working Food & Wine Festival

[Gorjus]

What I know:
If you want to pick up extra hours, there is an extra hours job hotline.
Some jobs require little to no training.
The Food and Wine Fest only runs a month and a half. Obviously unless you are part of the executive staff, this is not your full time job.

What I don't know:
Is the F&W Fest one of those things you can pick up extra hours on?
Is the F&W Fest one of those things that require little to no training?
If you are picking up extra hours, are you paid at time and a half from your regular pay if it is overtime, or are you paid at what that job would pay? (unrealistic creative analogy: if my job pays $2/hour and the F&W Fest pays $1/hour, would I be paid at time and a half my rate or the F&W rate?)
If they have an abundance of workers looking for extra hours, would they choose someone that only made $6/hour as opposed to someone making $9/hour?

And on a side note, does anyone have a F&W Fest program from this year that they feel like scanning and posting online so I can look at the schedule of complimentary seminars?

Picking up extra shifts on EHH are paid at THEIR rate of overtime. I.E. in your example, you'd be making overtime rate of $1/hour.

Also, to answer your last question. Certain shifts are posted, i.e. they need someone to cover a 12 pm to 8:30 pm shift. That shift is posted on EHH, and the first eligible person to sign up will get it. The shift then disappears, so there's not much "competition" once you've already signed up for the shift. Also, pay rate doesn't matter either because you're making that location's pay rate, where everyone will be at the same base pay.
