FAQ
Questions about the meeting cost clock
Which hourly rates does teim use?
The internal hourly rate stored for each person in teim. teim freezes the rates at the start, so later changes never alter a past meeting.
Can employees see their colleagues’ pay?
No. teim never shows the rate of a single person, only the total. The cost only appears once 2 participants have a rate, so no individual rate can be worked out. HR, admins and the owner always see the cost.
Who can start a meeting?
Managers, HR, admins and the owner. Employees can also pause, resume and end a running meeting.
Can the cost clock be combined with transcription?
Yes. For a finished meeting, you upload a recording. Meeting transcription turns it into minutes with decisions and tasks.
How much does the meeting cost clock cost?
It is included in the price of CHF 5.00 per company and CHF 3.00 per user per month, together with all other modules. See pricing
