Participate in a study on decision-making. The study will take around 10-15 minutes.(~ 10 minutes) - $1.00 +0.35 bonus Confirmed!

Underpaid

Poor

Approved

$8.03 / hour

00:10:05 / completion time

Pros

Approved in three days with the comment "Thank you for completing our study As we told you you will receive your bonus within three weeks."

10/26 - It has now been over three weeks, and I have yet to receive a bonus, so I reached out.

Cons

Was anticipating a bonus of $3.50 but only received 35 pennies. I reached out to the req. 10/28
Update: Though they did respond to my first message regarding the bonus, they failed to address my concerns about the amount of bonus. Perhaps I misread/miscalculated the bonus, but it appears lots of other folks did as well....

Underpaid

$8.89 / hour

01:00:43 / completion time

Pros

Cons

Very underpaid, this is a LOT of work - which is a shame because I find this sort of work very enjoyable. All work is on one page so you could spend almost an entire HOUR just to accidentally hit F5 or something and be screwed. There is a forced timer, so even if you finish it early you are stuck waiting for the full hour to be up.

Wouldn't recommend this requester unless she makes major changes to the format to multiple pages, removes the timer, and raises the pay to at least $12 minimum.

Participate in a study on decision-making. The study will take around 10-15 minutes.(~ 10 minutes) - $1.00 +0.40 bonus Confirmed!

Approved

$6.59 / hour

Pros

Cons

Contacted the requester to follow up on the $4.00 bonus and heard back with reassurances it would be paid out soon. Which it was. But for $0.40. Contacted them about this and have yet to hear back. ETA: Requester got back to me and said there was some sort of logic error with the HIT and it was only supposed to be a certain amount per correct answer, moving it up a decimal point away from what I was expecting.

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
