rate as listed

Workload: ~15h/week
Engagement: Project-based
Location: Worldwide
Field: Legal

Apply US employment and labor law expertise to create, review, and refine legal data annotation tasks for AI training. The work covers workplace disputes, wage and hour compliance, investigations, agreements, employee benefits, and ERISA-related materials.

The work

This contractor role involves creating and reviewing annotation tasks built around real or hypothetical employment law matters. Day-to-day assignments may include analyzing wage and hour scenarios, evaluating workplace investigation documents and policies, refining agreement templates, reviewing benefit plan materials, and giving detailed feedback on legal content and annotation guidelines.

What micro1 screens for

The screening is likely to test whether you can support legal conclusions with specific US authority, identify missing facts, distinguish federal requirements from state-specific rules, and assess ambiguous annotations consistently. Expect follow-up questions on workplace disputes, litigation, wage and hour compliance, investigations, agreement drafting, employee benefits, and ERISA. Prior AI experience is not required, but experience preparing or reviewing legal materials for training, compliance, or analysis is preferred.

Logistics

The engagement is remote and requires autonomous work, collaboration with project stakeholders, confidentiality, and delivery against milestones. The listing does not state typical weekly hours or a fixed schedule, so candidates should be ready to describe their actual availability and ability to meet changing project deadlines.

Interview prep — 10 questions

Matched to what this platform's screening actually measures. Answer each out loud in 60–90 seconds: claim → concrete example → implication.

What it tests: This tests whether your claimed expertise is grounded in identifiable US jurisdictions and substantive responsibility rather than occasional exposure to employment matters.
A strong answer: Give a concise chronology with practice duration, jurisdictions, representative matter categories, and your role in analysis, drafting, investigations, negotiations, or litigation. Separate work you led from work you supported.
Where people lose it: Candidates lose points by describing a broad legal practice without identifying employment law matters, governing jurisdictions, or their personal responsibility.
