!!OPEN QUICKLY!! Navigate New York City with another Turker (20-30 minutes) -- up to $3.00 bonus upon successful completion. - $5.00 +1.82 bonus Confirmed!

Good

Unrated

Approved

$10.15 / hour

Pros

This was an interesting and challenging HIT and I got lucky with my partner, especially when it crashed in the middle of the second section. My partner was very understanding. I made note of what happened in the comments section at the end, and the lab was very understanding as well and offered a $1.50 bonus on top of what we had actually earned to make up for the time and effort spent. All very appreciated. I'm only disappointed I wasn't able to completely finish.

Transcribe economic data - $1.00 +0.01 bonus

Good

Unrated

Approved

$11.88 / hour

00:05:06 / completion time

Pros

-bonus based on accuracy up to $2.15
-Communication was excellent. The enter key on this HIT is going to get you in trouble, as it did me. It not only advances the page, but will also advance you off the submission code ID page. If you are like me and skip right past the code by mistake, just submit the HIT with the worker ID. Requester was super quick to respond to this mistake.

Answer a survey(~ 10 minutes) - $0.80

Low

Unrated

Approved

$6.29 / hour

00:07:38 / completion time

Pros

If I understood correctly, this HIT was a qualifier for future HITs with this requestor. Take that as you wish, especially concerning the hourly rate here. Also, there is an $.80 bonus if you pass the attention checks.

Cons

The hourly rate, or the writing prompt for some. I didn't think it was that bad but definitely ate up some time.

Matthew Ridley (Requester):

Thanks for your feedback. I just want to point out that nearly everyone gets the $0.80 bonus for passing the attention checks. They are not designed... to trip you up, just to detect bots etc. In the last batch 98.7% of people got the $0.80 attention-check bonus. With that bonus, the hourly rate is double what's posted here.

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
