Collective agreements engine

Collective agreements have many sides — but only one truth.

Bring working hours, shifts and collective-agreement rules together. Curio Time applies the rules consistently, while your team keeps control of the final review.

Overtime tiersRest periodsMajor holidaysGrace periodsHoliday by tenure

Curio Time comes with pre-configured payroll rules built from the ground up by experienced payroll professionals based on collective agreements. Built-in AI is available to help analyze contracts, cross-check details, and discuss edge cases from every angle. All rules can be easily adapted as needed.

Collective agreements ready to use

Configured per country

Applicable collective agreements are configured for each country in the catalogue.

Overtime, premiums and holidays

Overtime, shift premiums, holidays and other pay rules are applied automatically to the time record. You still review the week before export. Curio Time does not calculate wages.

Leave follows the agreement

Leave entitlements and holiday rules follow the selected agreement.

Tested before they are default

Every default rule is tested and approved before release.

Select country and agreement

Companies simply select their country and the appropriate collective agreement.

Flexible when you need it

The predefined rules provide a reliable starting point but remain fully configurable. Companies can easily adjust calculations, premium rates, working-time thresholds and leave rules without rebuilding the entire setup.

Curio AI

Three ways Curio AI works in the rules engine.

Built-in AI helps analyze contracts, cross-check details and discuss edge cases from every angle. Payroll professionals build the rules.

AI Rule Builder

Upload a collective-agreement PDF and let Curio AI draft the calculation rules and JSON automatically. You check the result before it is applied.

Smart Contract Analyzer

Find the right wage rate and holiday rule for an employee directly from the agreement text, instead of hunting through the document by hand.

Real-Time AI Assistant in the Builder

An assistant that follows along as you build complex rules and guides you in the moment — overtime tiers, rest, holiday accrual and the exceptions in between.

Automated overtime and shift premiums

Apply overtime tiers, shift premiums and rest-period rules directly to the time record. The week is still reviewed in Curio Time Pro before any hours are exported.

Public holidays and shift differentials

Apply public-holiday and shift-differential rates using the percentages you set, without re-entering them on every timesheet.

Grace periods and automatic breaks

Apply grace periods to clock-ins automatically. Minimum breaks and meal periods can be deducted when working time reaches a threshold you define.

Dynamic holiday accrual

Calculate holiday accrual from work percentage and tenure, and keep the balance alongside the time record instead of in a separate spreadsheet.

No manual comparison sheet

Carry the calculation from the first clock-in to payroll-ready export without comparing the time clock and pay run by hand. Curio Time does not calculate wages or issue payslips.
