$21.18 / hour

Pros

good hourly if the design and interface works

Cons

EDIT: So after 3 days, the requester got back to me having been out of the office for a few days. I can work with that, but remove the auto-reject system since completion code appears to be an issue on your system.

Rejected within 2 minutes of submitting.

The entire thing was crazy broken, as have been most of the scented device usertest studies. I had to answer a single question and then it took me right to the completion page where you can press "copy" to copy a 30 digit code and then you paste into the Mturk system. Easy right? No way I could mess that up, right? Apparently the code I got is different than the one they have on thier end, so of course, rejected. I even messaged them IMMEDIATELY after submitting to ask if the survey was either broken, or if it was just super short. I was quickly met with a rejection.

This is not my first runin with this requester after a trash rejection like this. They take a while to get back to you, so we'll see if I can get this one reversed like the last one where my code was incorrect. Needless to say, the issue is on their end, not ours, however we are the ones that get punished. It's a known issue they seem to never want to address.

  • HIT Rejected

Pros

Cons

I decided to leave a comment at the end of the survey and forgot to copy my code before clicking submit after writing the comment. This obviously advanced the page and didn't give me a chance to copy the code. So, I submitted with my worker ID and sent an email. However, they never replied to my email and instantly rejected the hit with the reason: Incorrect code Now I'm just waiting on a reply to my email I guess.

**1/14/2019 EDIT**

They never replied to my email. I can see they also rejected another worker for a similar reason. These hits are good and they pay somewhat decent but if you're going to do them make sure you submit the correct code. However, if you end up losing your code like me, then you are better off not submitting at all because you'll be rejected instantly like I was.

Advice to Requester

Communicate with your workers. Workers make mistakes like this frequently and being rejected and ignored (whether intentionally or unintentionally) is completely unfair to the worker.

Small usability task & feedback on a website/app prototype. (~8 minute) - $0.90

Generous

Excellent

Approved

$13.61 / hour

00:03:58 / completion time

Pros

very clean and efficient interface

Cons

i never got a token

Rejected almost instantly for incorrect code. I was literally typing to them to let them know the thing was broken. I guess we shall see if I hear back, but if you dont get a code after completing the survey, dont submit because they have no shame. My Worker ID was even in the URL, so I assumed there would be a way to tell on thier end that I completed the survey. I will update if I hear back.

UPDATE: I am keeping the reject notes on there so others pay attention to the codes since this requester takes codes very seriously. The Requester was very polite, took care of the mistake after a few hours, and reversed the rejection. Would do business again.

Approval Tracking

Wage Aggregate Tracking

This is fairly straightforward: we take the completion time & the reward amount (where available) and calculate the average hourly rate for the task. We then apply that number to a simple range based on US minimum wage standards to color-code the data for easy to digest numerical data.

Color Pay Range (Hourly) Explanation
RED < $7.25 / hr Hourly averages below US Federal minimum wage
ORANGE $7.25 - $10.00 / hr Hourly averages between Federal & highest statewide (CA) minimum wages.
GREEN > $10.00 / hr Hourly averages above all US minimum wage standards

Reward Sentiment

Not all HITs are created equal. Sometimes an hourly wage doesn't convey the full story of a HIT's true worth, so we encourage workers to give their opinion on the overall pay of the task. Was it $8/hr to rate pictures of puppies? A worker could justifiably bump up the rating a bit for something so adorable. 10 hours locked in Inquisit? Even for $10/hr many workers would appreciate the heads up on such a task. The Pay Sentiment rating helps connect workers beyond the hard data.

Icon Rating Suggested Guidelines
Underpaid 1 / 5
  • Very low or no pay
  • Frustrating work experience
  • Inadequate instructions
Low 2 / 5
  • Below US min-wage ($7.25/hr)
  • No redeeming qualities to make up for pay
Fair 3 / 5
  • Minimum wages for task (consider SE taxes!)
  • Work experience offers nothing to tip the scales in a positive or negative direction
Good 4 / 5
  • Pay is above minimum wage, or compensates better than average for the level of effort required.
  • The overall work experience makes up for borderline wages
Generous 5 / 5
  • Pay is exceptional.
  • Interesting, engaging work or work environment
  • Concise instructions, well designed HIT.

Communication Ratings

Communication is an underrated aspect of mTurk. Clear, concise directions. A fast response to a clarification question or a resolution to a workflow suggestion can all be valuable aspects of interaction between Requesters & Workers and its worth keeping track of. Plus everyone enjoys the peace of mind knowing that if something does go wrong there will be an actual human getting back to you to solve the issue.

Icon Rating Suggested Guidelines
Unacceptable 1 / 5
  • No response at all
  • Rude response without a resolution
Poor 2 / 5
  • Responsive, but unhelpful
  • Required IRB or extra intervention
Acceptable 3 / 5
  • Responded in a reasonable timeframe
  • Resolves issues to a minimum level of satisfaction.
Good 4 / 5
  • Prompt Response
  • Positive resolution
Excellent 5 / 5
  • Prompt response time
  • Friendly & Professional
  • Helpful / Solved Issues
  • Interacts within the community

Approval Time Tracking

This rating is strictly for approval times. Let's face it, no one wants to mix approval time ratings with how fast a Requester rejects a HIT, so we've saved rejection flags for another category. This provides a more straightforward way to know about how long your HIT might sit pending before paying out. The default auto-approval for most MTurk tasks is 3 days, the maximum is 30 days. We've tried to base our ratings around those data-points.

Icon Rating Approval Time
Very Slow 1 / 5 Over 2 weeks
Slow 2 / 5 ~1 - 2 Weeks
Average 3 / 5 ~3 - 7 Days
Fast 4 / 5 ~1 - 3 Days
Very Fast 5 / 5 ~24 hours or less
