Low

Excellent

Approved

$8.82 / hour

00:40:50 / completion time

Pros

Good communication. Requester paid $5 bonus instead of the $2.14 that I had earned up to point of being stuck in limbo.

Cons

Broken. I was stuck in waiting room 2 for at least 7 minutes. I finally submitted with my worker id, so hopefully I'll at least get the bonus, but probably just a rejection. This is the hit from hell. First of all wait for players, then watch a boring 6 minute video. Next is a practice game. Then sit around in a waiting room. Next there are 10 rounds with a chance for bonus depending on choices made by other workers. (I earned 2.14) This is followed up by another boring video. Then back to the waiting room. Here you wait for others to join. After waiting 3 minutes I was given the choice of waiting for another 3 minutes or getting a completion code. I opted for the code, but it went back to the waiting room where it's in limbo after 7 minutes. At that point I just put in my workers id and submitted.

ETA: Got a $5 bonus

Earn $3 for participation plus up to $15 in bonus (NEED TO BE TAKEN IMMEDIATELY)(~ 60 minutes) - $3.00 +16.30 bonus Confirmed!

Generous

Unrated

Approved

$38.51 / hour

00:30:04 / completion time

Pros

Pay is generous even without removing the wait time. You also have to option to leave and just take the base pay after 3 minutes if you're not paired with anyone. Bonus paid the same day.

Cons

About 10 total minutes of passive waiting which I did not include in my completion time, both at the start and midway through for others to catch up with the instructions. My group was very quick, but you could get stuck with slow pokes. 20 seconds of wait time after every round, which seemed really unnecessary and added like 7-8 extra minutes to the hit.

Group decision exercise (earn up to about $12)(~ 45 minutes) - $0.00 +2.00 bonus

Low

Unrated

Approved

$7.27 / hour

00:16:30 / completion time

Pros

99% approval. Most people have a better experience, but we didn't have our last group member show up.

Cons

7.5 min instruction vid & you get screwed over if someone doesn't show up. Had the option to keep waiting, but wasn't sure how long that could be and if I would just be waiting an extra 5-10 minutes to still only get $1 if no one still showed up. Should be a better pay structure for those that show up. And you have to be in full screen/ can't do other things while waiting.

EDIT: messaged requester to complain and he threw me a $2 bonus instead of the $1.

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
