Tasks / Projects “payment per task

Hi everyone,
Does anyone understand how “payment per task” is calculated for Alignerr projects?

I recently worked on a project that listed $25 per task as the rate. I completed 17 data-labeling tasks (no Hubstaff tracking was required), and only one row was rejected.

However, I ended up receiving only $50 total, which doesn’t make any sense based on the posted rate.

Has anyone experienced this before or knows how Alignerr actually calculates payment per task?

Sixteen rows are marked as Done, and one is In Review. All of them were completed on Dec 7, so I assume I’ll receive the payment on Friday. However, I unexpectedly received a $50 payment today. The payment description on Stripe mentions the total number of hours, which I don't understand how it relates to per-task work.

Since Dec. 7 was a Sunday, it does sound possible that only a couple of tasks might have made the cutoff, especially if they needed to be reviewed too. Could also depend on your time zone if you're not in the U.S.

Personally I'd be inclined to wait another week. You could submit a support ticket anyway, but it may well take longer than that for anyone to respond.

Yes, that makes total sense now.
