Paid to watch Netflix …just not happy to chill.

I know all about how many hours are required to keep up with TV’s incessant output these days (it’s a double-edged sword, but first world problems).

So behold the folk who make up the “Netflix Beetlejuice Project”: people who are paid $10 a film or series to pick the best still images and videos to help its users figure out what they want to watch.

Now, two of these largely-anonymous people are suing Netflix for overtime, paid vacation, health insurance and more.

According to the Hollywood Reporter Long Beach resident Lawrence Moss and L.A. resident Cigdem Akbay claim they deserve higher pay after being allegedly misclassified as contractors instead of employees.

Both Moss and Akbay allege they worked closely with Netflix management and sometimes worked more than 40 hours a week. “Theoretically, [Akbay] could set her own hours, but Netflix imposed deadlines for assignments that in effect imposed a rigid work schedule,” states her complaint.

Netflix argues in court papers the employees signed agreements that require the dispute be handled privately in arbitration.

Netflix has previously advertised for Taggers who must “deconstruct the films and programmes and describe them using objective tags.”
