Academic Survey(~ 7 minutes) - $1.05 +0.50 bonus Confirmed!

Good

Excellent

Approved

$14.53 / hour

00:06:24 / completion time

Pros

After I messaged her and pointed out how the pay rate for this was inconsistent with her average pay rate shown on Turkerview of around $16 per hour, she rectified the problem by issuing me a bonus. That's not unheard of for a Requester to do...but what makes her unique is that I didn't have to message her through MTurk or even at her college-issued email. I simply left a comment in the Feedback section of her survey, and she responded by bonusing me the amount I suggested in that comment. I would call it coincidence except that this is actually the second time that has happened; this is, her issuing me a bonus in response to my raising a valid grievance in the feedback section and suggesting a bonus amount.

No, I don't think that would work for every survey; on most of hers I don't have any complaints anyway because the pay/work ratio is fair. I also should point out here that I laid out my case in detail and politely, not via a "screw u scammer!" type "venting" comment. So, merely complaining might not have the same effect as a detailed grievance. Still, from all appearances, this Requester is a rare specimen...a Requester who actually reads the Feedback sections on her surveys.

Cons

In the interest of fairness I should put down that this HIT didn't initially pay almost $15/hour. It was more like $9.50. However, this did get remedied (and quickly, within a couple hours actually) when I messaged the Requester.

Learning and Risk Taking (~ 15 minutes) - $1.00 +0.38 bonus Confirmed!

Unrated

Unrated

Approved

$5.69 / hour

00:14:33 / completion time

Pros

None pay wise but here is the structure of the hit - read instructions - work the first part and try to gain as many points as possible for a bonus - second part depending on the decision about the point accumulation just continue to work on the task - demographics - they do explain the bonus structure at the beginning but to be fair I had no idea how bad it was - could be done a little quicker

Cons

Bonus is not even worth bothering about I have to say for the length of the task I was so disappointed and I even doubled my points, I got a whopping 38c so a total of $1.38 for 15 minutes of my time!! Wow!!

Compensation HIT for A2Y0WNHMT4PZ4C(~ 1 minutes) - $2.25

Fair

Acceptable

Approved

$15.98 / hour

00:08:27 / completion time

Pros

Read instructions - answer questions including some open ended questions - there was a problem with the attention check question so I had to stop midway while I waited for the requester to reply to my message. I ended up running out of time and had to return the original hit. The requester finally got back to me and set up a compensation hit for me. The time on here is what I had already spent working on the original hit.

Cons

A little bit of writing is involved - there was initially a problem with the attention check question which I believe has now been resolved.

Advice to Requester

Thank you so much for compensating my time it really is appreciated

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

  • Very low or no pay
  • Frustrating work experience
  • Inadequate instructions

  • Below US min-wage ($7.25/hr)
  • No redeeming qualities to make up for pay

  • 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.

  • 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
