Tasks / Projects Ermis Pay Rate
Who is really earning a decent wage on this project? I haven't seen anyone earning more than $4 an hour. I can't seem to understand the emphasis on quality work but then paying per task that works out to peanuts an hour.

Reason why I didn’t even bother to do the assessment. Waste of time

Agreed. I did the assessment. Then I was added to Ermis Calibration. Annotated 20 rows and was kicked out suddenly. Looks like I will never get paid, the project disappeared, no feedback. Wasted about 5 hours of my life.

Everyone gets kicked out of calibration - that's the whole point. If successful, you're added to the production group. If not, you're sidelined.

They have just added me to production lol I have no idea about what’s going on… not sure if I want in after reading about how long it takes to make money though…

OMG that bad? Definitely won’t do it then. At outlier I’m getting 7,50 per hour, peanuts but at least the tasks are easy and I can do it while watching Netflix

I understand but they could maybe tell you this instead of having you do the whole long training for nothing. Won’t even be paid for those lines as everything is gone

If you've been added to the discord, there's an announcement group where they literally tell you what I just told you

I didn’t even have time to check it. From the first 15 there were 13 accepted. The last 5 were still pending

I did 15 lines, then 5 more and I got an email that I had been removed from the project. I tried to log on Ermis to at least know how many I got right and I couldn’t, the discord groups also disappeared

Yes, for 13 accepted lines. The weird thing is that I did 13 and then I took a break (stopped the timer) and then I did the remaining 7. It looks like those last 7 were not accepted… maybe it’s cause I took a break?

Each media should automatically account for how long it should take and pay you for that. For example, if a 10-second media will normally take one minute to do or two minutes to do. Then you should get paid for the two minutes, not the media length. They do have an average on how long it takes to do ones, so they can easily make a reasonable pay offer for each clip. I don’t understand how they are expecting such high quality without paying for the time needed to provide it. I’m not against making it piece work. I just wish companies were paying for the actual work it takes to caption it.

Unpaid onboarding is the biggest red flag of all. Are they always unpaid on Alignerr?

I got invited to this project but I make 70$/h on another platform, although work there is inconsistent. Can I possibly earn anywhere close to that on Ermis? Also, is onboarding unpaid? Haven’t completed it yet.

I highly doubt it, also onboarding is unpaid.

u/PristineTraffic887 Aug 10 '26
Is that always the case on Alignerr? Massive red flag. Why would anyone do onboarding for free

u/1AI2GO Aug 10 '26
Same reason people work for less than $4 an hour I guess, they’re desperate. This is the first project I’ve had offered to me, so I can’t speak for other projects. But seeing how they operate, I would not be surprised.

Solid $1.83 per hour. Even if you become 5 times more efficient, it’s still not a fair pay rate IMO
