FAQ
Q: How much does BarTime cost?
A: Pricing can be found on our pricing page. There is a nominal startup fee and a month-to-month charge; however, there is no contract length and nothing to install.
Q: How is my chambers’ invoice calculated?
A: We base your fee on your Average User Count. Each day, your account is measured and the number of active users is recorded. At the end of your billing cycle, we take a simple average of each day's user count to calculate your Average User Count for that billing period. We multiply that number against the cost per person, and that's the total bill. If you inactivate a barrister mid-month, they will not be counted in the daily average as of the date you inactivate them.
Q: Are clerks counted as users for billing purposes?
A: No. Recognising that clerks need access in order to manage their barristers’ time accounts but will not record time themselves, allowance will be made for them by excluding them from billing calculations.
Q: Why are "cookies" important?
A: If you have your cookies disabled, you will not be able to log into your account. Cookies are necessary to establish your session. You will most likely receive a "timed-out" indication upon logging in. If this occurs, go into your browser preferences and enable your cookies. If you are concerned about what information is collected about you with the use of these cookies, please read our Privacy Policy.
Q: I want to set BarTime up on our local server. Is this possible?
A: No. BarTime is not designed to be hosted on your server. BarTime is a web-based application. In time we will offer a desktop application that each individual barrister can download onto their desktop, but this will be for time entry only.
Q: Who sets up the information (barristers, clients, cases and tasks)?
A: Person(s) designated as your chambers' administrator(s) enter this information, usually clerks.
