Home / Guides / How Task Performance Affects Your Weekly Pay

Introduction

Unlike Account Owners, who earn a fixed percentage of Net Earnings, Annotators are paid weekly based on their task performance and input — meaning both how much you do and how well you do it matter.

Quality is measured against the specific guidelines of the platform and account you're working on, so consistency with those guidelines is the most direct lever you have.

Key Points

  • Task performance is measured against the platform's own quality guidelines, not a Starkworth-wide standard.
  • Input volume — how many tasks you complete — is part of the calculation.
  • Pay is issued weekly, every Wednesday by 3:00 PM (CST), reflecting that week's activity.
  • There's no published fixed rate per task; it's tied to your overall performance for the week.

Frequently Asked Questions

No published minimum is stated on the site — pay reflects whatever performance and input you provide that week.

Since quality is a factor in task performance, lower accuracy could affect that week's pay — see How to Maximize Your Earnings for ways to stay consistent.
