$0.35 for ~3 minutes: Survey of your opinions.(~ 3 minutes) - $0.35

Good

Unrated

Approved

$14.00 / hour

00:01:30 / completion time

Pros

Instant approval.

Cons

I get bots are an issue for some requesters but do not throw 900 bot checks at us and then at the end of the survey threaten to reject us if we say a specific word or phrase in your feedback section. We are not children and most of us do not turk for fun. You already have excessive bot checks and do not need to throw that in there as well.

Yes, those that use bots can damage the reputation of turkers in general but for those of us that are honest and do our best to do good work reading crap like that is just insulting. I am so tired of seeing more and more surveys with requesters talking to us like we are children. Now, if you will excuse me I left my sippy cup in the kitchen and have to go get it.

Screener for Longer Task(~ 2 minutes) - $0.20 +0.20 bonus Confirmed!

Underpaid

Unrated

Approved

$6.00 / hour

00:04:00 / completion time

Pros

Update: 20 cent bonus received same day. Still underpaid, and I think the description was misleading (I expected 40 cents)

Cons

Hit description mentions some workers will advance to the "next stage" for 40 cents, but it's unclear whether that means another hit, or if there's a bonus. If there's a bonus for this hit, that will bring the pay up to fair. The possible $8 follow up does not sound like it will be worth it either.

A 1.5-minute, 15-cent screener ($1.05 today if you qualify) for 3-part study Mon-Fri: $3.80. (~ 2 minutes) - $0.15

Unrated

Unrated

Approved

$0.74 / hour

00:12:08 / completion time

Pros

Paid screener. decent hourly/bonus by the end of the week when the experiment is finished. Should be a generous time window to complete the two follow-up surveys. Keeping pay unrated until study is finished out of fairness

Cons

wants you to download a phone app and have it record study-relevant data for the week (not terribly invasive, but these kinds of things are always sketchy).

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
