July Virtual Chapter Meeting!

Date: July 12, 2022

Time: 11:50AM - 1:00PM PST

Overview: So, Your Employee Wants to be Paid in Crypto?
As the blockchain ecosystem continues to grow and evolve, an increasing number of individuals are gaining interest in the space. According to research published by Sofi in March of 2022, over 1/3rd of workers want the ability to receive part of their paycheck in crypto, and 42% would like the ability to receive NFTs as a performance reward. While the attention and interest will fluctuate over time, it’s critical for HR departments to be in front of the decision curve in terms of awareness, familiarity, and corporate position as the overall ecosystem grows.

Leaning Objectives:

  • What is blockchain, crypto, and this whole Web3 thing?

  • What is it not?

  • Currency, utility, security, other?

  • Why are people interested?

  • So getting paid in crypto, what does this look like?

  • Direct payments (to wallet)

  • Indirect payments (Earmarked)

  • How has it played out (Eric Adams, Lionel Messi, Aaron Rodgers, Russell Okung)

Key Considerations:

  • General legality

  • Price fluctuations & payroll accounting

  • How to protect yourselves, your employees, and the overall company
