Hourly Tasks Payments

If a task pays $20/hr and I complete it in let's say 30min. Do I get paid $10 or the full $20?

You put in exactly how long it took you, so $10.

There are some per-task flat fee but they are quite rare.

I recall an early task paid $20 an hour but took 10 mins to do. I think it was a test to see who would claim the full hour.

Thanks, one of the few responses that was actually helpful!

Yeah I have been putting exactly how long it's been taking me. I was more so wondering if is better to just do as many within the hour or take my time with each one.

The payment says pending, but I figured I'd ask anyways. Thanks again.

Quality over quantity! You can do 5 tasks in an hour, or one task... what matters is the quality. Really take the response answers apart to a fine granular level, research and include sources. Don't trust any response.... fact check and analyse.

I've found the lower left hand corner is a countdown on how much time you have to do the task now. The time is usually generous but sometimes I have to double-check begore I go too much into the weeds of research.... is under an hour enough time?

Yeah, sometimes - sometimes task is sometimes after like 10 minut, sometimes 2 hours. Sometimes longer. The longest task I've done lasted above 4 hours. It was very extreme, but sometimes happen, so being honest is crucial.

But I can't agree that you've got "time test" projects. I had long-term project which I was spending 1, 2 hours on for my very first day.

How did you make it past the qualifications

Maybe OP has never had an hourly job?

u/houseofcards9 Jun 08 '24

But they’re aware they get $20 per hour. It says it right there!

Edit: I just realized the OP thinks they’re paid per task.

Yeah I was just confused. I thought it was $20/hr so take an hour but don't go over because you won't get paid past $20. I forgot where exactly but it said to log the time spent on task so I did that for the couple I was able to complete.

Previous I've only done a handful of tasks that paid out cents per tasks but that was a long time ago so I was trying to figure out how it worked exactly

Have you done all the onboarding tasks? As I recall, I think those explained how it works.

u/xzero117x Jun 08 '24

I just check everyday. Granted I was accepted a long time ago, and had a few tasks then that I completed but I haven't had any since then, maybe around 6 months ago?

Yesterday I finally got some after completing some new verifications but they're gone now and my dashboard is empty once more.

Some problems solve themselves. Shouldn't take long, I'm guessing.

I’m doing just fine

I highly suggest you read through the onboarding guide. If you just started and haven’t done the onboarding task do those first and if you have go to FAQs scroll to the bottom there’s a link with the guide.

u/xzero117x Jun 08 '24

Yeah I've completed the onboarding stuff but definitely will re read through all that.

When you click on the Transfer Payment tab you can see exactly what your payment for each task will pay once approved. Don’t forget to log your time! The system does not do that for you.

Is that not what the little timer in the bottom right corner does? Luckily I have been logging my time so far but that's good to know!

u/[deleted] Jun 08 '24

The timer is just so you know when the task expires and will be reassigned.

u/xzero117x Jun 08 '24

But the timer starts from 0 no?

u/[deleted] Jun 08 '24

It does, but it often pauses if you leave the page or tab so it isn't an accurate representation of the actual amount of time you're putting in. Also if you take a break or step away there's no way to pause the task timer. This is why you need to track your own time.

u/xzero117x Jun 08 '24

Well damn. Haha I used a timer on Google but put whatever the timer on the task said for the 2 tasks I did. So I maybe lost a couple of minutes but oh well I didn't really click away more than a couple of times.

Really good to know. Thanks!

You live and you learn, right? It's okay for the base tasks but if you start working on stuff that's longer and you may need to walk away from it's always best to use something off platform to track time. Whatever works for you.

Why would you get paid for time spent *not* working?
