10-minute academic survey with $2.00 completion award and the chance to earn additional payment - $2.00

Generous

Poor

Approved

$23.30 / hour

00:05:09 / completion time

Pros

Pays well.

Bonus opportunity. Depending on choices, some randomness. Using once cent placeholder.

Edit (10/13-14): several automated bonus emails sent between August and September with no response.

Forgot that I had an email exchange with them from a previous HIT where I had to chase down an unpaid bonus for that HIT as well, so I reached out on 9/25 hoping they would respond to a direct email. After some back and forth, they told me they received my emails and promised they would look into it. Nothing heard, so I waited a week and followed up on 10/3. On 10/7 received a response promising they would resolve the unpaid bonus that week. I waited another week and followed up on 10/14 and wrote this edit.

As of this edit I am marking this as unpaid. If they reach out, I will update, but I am tired of chasing a bonus that will probably amount to nothing.

Edit (10/15): received a response stating was not owed a bonus. Stated bonus was based of random selection. Removed unpaid bonus.

Cons

20-minute academic survey with $3.50 completion award and the chance to earn additional payment - $3.50 +0.05 bonus Confirmed!

Fair

Acceptable

Approved

$15.76 / hour

00:13:31 / completion time

Pros

Bonus? Bonus opportunity, but who knows what and if you will get a payment. Added a one cent placeholder.

Long HIT timer, so you can put this off to the side to do other mindless tasks.

Edit (8/23): followed up with requester about unpaid bonus on 8/22. Received a 5 cent bonus on 8/23 along with an apology response stating they thought they had paid all bonuses. Honestly do not even remember what/if the bonus potential was supposed to be, but 5 cents is hardly anything to write home about.

Cons

I understand that this is a study and so the aim is to see how we think, but part 2 was unnecessarily complicated. Instructions could/should have been a structured in a way that actually helps you during the task, but instead was presented like a bad word problem in a math textbook.

25-minute academic survey with $4 completion award and the chance to earn additional payment.(~ 25 minutes) - $4.00

Good

Unrated

Approved

$16.18 / hour

00:14:50 / completion time

Pros

You can win a bonus. I don't recall the highest possible bonus, either $1 or $1.50.

Cons

Chances are the bonus will be small or you will get no bonus. For part 1 the selection process is very quick. Part 2 goes on and on. You have to make 48 selections, each on a new screen, each with a screen after where you have to hit "Next" again. For each selection, you have to click on 3 different choices to view something, even if you know enough after clicking just 1 or 2. In part 2 all your choices are for a charity. If part 2 is selected as the "part that counts" you get a bonus of zero.

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
