CURO Expert Review, Pricing, Alternatives - 2022

CURO has saved their customers hundreds of thousands by driving efficiency, improving effectiveness, and providing a clear line of sight between achievement and compensation outcome.
What's Inside
CURO is an impressive solution that covers all aspects of compensation management. It really shines in its complex bonus management features. You can define eligibility criteria for bonuses and salary bumps, track performance, and manage short and long-term incentives as well as promotion scenarios.
All this has helped its customers save money by "slicing" bonuses. CURO will recognize if an employee switched roles halfway through the year. As a result, employers roll out their annual bonus based on both roles, instead of just the role at year's end. At a big company with lots of in-house mobility, that can add up to hundreds of thousands in savings.

CURO also offers pay equity and gender pay gap solutions.
