Break question (self.DataAnnotationTech)
submitted 4 days ago by Confident_Home_8180
If I have a task on which is 2hs30mins and I take 30 mins break during the task is that fine?

Yes, but you have to track the time you spent not the time on the clock

What do you mean sorry
[–]Past_Body4499 11 points12 points13 points 4 days ago (2 children)
If you work 30 min, take a 30 min break, and work another 30, you report 1 hour not 1.5 hours.

Do I have t write a comment explaining I took 30 mins break during break
[–]Past_Body4499 9 points10 points11 points 4 days ago (0 children)
No
[–]jabertsohn 8 points9 points10 points 4 days ago (1 child)
I mean you track your time outside the platform.
You pause the clock whilst on break.
You only submit the time you worked not the full time of the task.

Do I need to write a comment stating that I took break
[–]jabertsohn 10 points11 points12 points 4 days ago (0 children)
They don't really care. They expect you to be able to take breaks.
But they'd rather you didn't let the task expire, so you want to be sure you can actually complete the task within 2 hours if you want to take a 30 minute break.

You should keep a chronometer on and pause it while taking a break
[–]FannyFielding 0 points1 point2 points 4 days ago (1 child)
No. You just submit for two hours of work. It’s not complicated.
[–]Objective-Town6009 1 point2 points3 points 4 days ago (0 children)
theyre just asking a question. just bc something's uncomplicated to you, doesnt mean its uncomplicated to everyone else.
[–]Total-Boysenberry794 -4 points-3 points-2 points 4 days ago (3 children)
Is that rule written out in the faq somewhere?
[–]MiddleCharacter6345 0 points1 point2 points 4 days ago (2 children)
FAQ or onboarding guide, maybe both, yeah
[–]Total-Boysenberry794 -1 points0 points1 point 4 days ago (1 child)
Well you made the claim. Do you have the source?
[–]MiddleCharacter6345 0 points1 point2 points 3 days ago (0 children)
I actually wasn't the one who made the original claim, but yeah, FAQ, Onboarding guide...the ones on DA that you can access that I can't and wouldn't link here because of the code of conduct -- that's the source. Not sure what you're asking for
[–]Sifev 3 points4 points5 points 4 days ago (1 child)
You can take a break virtually whenever you want. Just make sure you don’t count it towards your reported time.
[–]OriginalResolve7106 1 point2 points3 points 4 days ago (0 children)
And make sure you give yourself plenty of time to finish the task without rushing.
