Welcome to comp cycles with Aeqium!
Our platform is designed to give you, your leadership, and your FP&A teams a centralized place to collaborate on compensation planning. Instead of your decisions getting lost in spreadsheets, instant messages, and emails, you will be able to work in a single platform that provides you with the data you need to get to the best outcomes for your team.
This guide details Aeqium’s comp cycle functionality, specifically for Reviewers of Reviewers (RoRs). For clarity, an RoR is someone who has direct reports who are reviewers themselves.

Similarly, you should review the ‘My Tasks’ tab of that sidebar before diving into your reviews. As an RoR who has reviewers below, the Tasks sidebar explains the order of operations you should follow:
