Copy text and numbers from a PDF(~ 20 minutes) - $2.00 +4.00 bonus

Underpaid

Unacceptable

Approved

$8.07 / hour

00:44:35 / completion time

Pros

Bonus but amount not disclosed. If this doesn't award a large bonus I may cry.

Cons

20 minutes is impossible. I type pretty quickly and I don't think anyone can finish this in under 40. There are ten experiments to copy all with multiple sections including tabular data. Each experiment has to be opened from a new pdf document and you have to search through 50-100 of them to find it. Some of the experiment are faded (not copied correctly) and hard to read.

Update: ATROCIOUS pay for this hit. Was sent a $4 bonus because the requester admitted the time was inaccurate, so basically there wasn't really a bonus based on performance as indicated in the hit. $6 for the amount of typing required for this hit was a slap in the face. Ridiculously underpaid.

Advice to Requester

In your email you stated you were attempting to pay fairly by giving a $4 bonus but $6 for 45 minutes of almost nonstop typing IS NOT fair pay. Not only that, I sent an email regarding the "bonus" mentioned in the hit and never received a response (or at least not yet). This is deceitful and uncalled for.

Judgment study (7-12mins, $0.50 + $0.25 bonus + $9.50 bonus)(~ 7 minutes) - $0.50

Underpaid

Unrated

Pending

$6.10 / hour

00:04:55 / completion time

Pros

They could be shadier and reject work, so I guess there's that. Think lots of different people use the Wharton account(s), so hits/ surveys from them seem to vary in quality, but this is a great example of a requester who has just gone down hill over the years.

Cons

Screw Wharton at this point. This survey just left an extremely sour taste in my mouth. The way the hit title/ consent form are worded, it makes it seem like the "up to 9.50" bonus part is guaranteed and based on our decisions entirely and it's just a matter of how much. It's not until you read the scenario, etc, that you find out you only have a 1/100 chance at that bonus.

Underpaid. Annoying. Flawed. Assuming it will annoy others too, which does impact the data, so this study's results are basically useless.

Advice to Requester

Be up front about the bonus. Our decisions have less to do with it than dumb luck. Or just pay smaller bonuses to everyone.

Edit: Had you just put that the 9.50 was 1/100 right away, I probably wouldn't have been so bothered by it. It's the fact that the survey seems designed to draw people in by that bonus, but then it is a super long shot.

25-30 interaction study + bonus payment up to $2.50(~ 25 minutes) - $0.75 +0.75 bonus Confirmed!

Low

Poor

Approved

$8.16 / hour

00:11:02 / completion time

Pros

My partner actually offered me a decent wage, or so I originally thought.

Cons

I assume experiences will vary greatly due to the nature of the task. I had to wait ~4 minutes to be matched up with a partner and you could end up being offered a garbage wage in the end anyway. It says max bonus is $2.50, but they offered me a wage corresponding to $3, so not sure what's up with that. One month and I have yet to receive the bonus.

I sent multiple emails back and forth about not receiving the bonus. They claimed they already sent it and that my bonus was only $0.75 and not $3 because I apparently agreed on a wage that was significantly lower than I remember agreeing on. After asking for proof, they then sent me a bonus of $0.75.

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
