Research study - $1.00 +3.58 bonus Confirmed!

Generous

Good

Approved

$27.95 / hour

00:09:50 / completion time

Pros

Update: This requester is very responsive, and strives to act ethically and equitably. They conducted an investigation, found the error to be on their part and took appropriate action. They also requested that I update my review—which I already had intentions of doing—but I think it speaks volumes to the influence of this community.

Please update your reviews, folks! I say this because I believe TV to be a powerful instrument that opens lines of communication, enhances transparency and works to the betterment of worker, requester and platform alike!

Cons

̶U̶n̶p̶a̶i̶d̶ ̶b̶o̶n̶u̶s̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶$̶3̶.̶5̶8̶. Message from req as follows:

We make all bonus payments within 24 hours - if you haven't been paid that may be due to an MTurk error (sometimes they fail to close the hits even though the max number of hits has beenreached) or because you have completed the task twice, or because you didn't finish the task.  So if you haven't received it until now, you will probably not receive it.  Our apologies!

Research study - $1.00 +2.50 bonus

Good

Unrated

Approved

$13.65 / hour

00:15:23 / completion time

Pros

The instructions take more time than the tasks but it's all easy. They don't try to be tricky. Decent bonus too.

Cons

Constantly having to click the NEXT button for each page/scenario. Time was little longer than it needed to be simply because MTurk is running a bit sluggish lately.

Research study - $1.00 +2.41 bonus Confirmed!

Good

Unrated

Approved

$19.24 / hour

00:10:38 / completion time

Pros

Bonus opportunity which is based on choices and some luck.

Edit: bonus paid same day.

Cons

Long. You can't rush this.

Also kind of annoying because rather than the game playing out by itself when you make your selections, you have to click next after each step.

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
