This is the best advice, in my opinion. Laws are different in different countries(and even in different regions of the same country). Ask these questions your local lawyer, and you'll get the best answers. I personally doubt that paying employees in Bitcoin can be legal unless the authorities officially approved it, like they did in New Zealand, for example.

This kind of scenario will be possible only if:
1. The employer will agree that all or at least some of his employees will be paid thru Bitcoin.
2. The employee will agree on it as well.

It will fall down to the employer-employee agreement. If they agree then it is possible. There are ways to pay different people in just one transaction already and that is how the CM are paying the sig. participants. On the other hand, employee must be knowledgeable enough or at least know the basic of Bitcoin including sending of it to different people. In the end, there is no bad thing on this when both sides are agreeing with it.

This will depends on the government or the employer of labor, like:

• What currency do we pay employees?
• Are these employees in love with a particular currency?

With employers conclusion any currency can be use as payment method than fiats. Bitcoin if chosen can be use for salary payment but the problem will be 'how many of the staffs are ready to accept Bitcoin in it state of volatility'?. At the moment, if a company pay me in Bitcoin I will be much happy than be pay in shitfiats.

I think this would largely depend on your home country and regulations there. There have been cases, though, when in countries where Bitcoin was in gray zone (not regulated and how it's treated for tax purposes wasn't specified anywhere), the authorities still demanded the income tax to be paid when they learned that someone was receiving income in BTC. But there are also countries with progressive income tax that even starts at zero percent, so if a salary is quite low, the taxes don't have to be paid.
I also found this platform that is supposed to help pay employees in BTC, but I did not dive into it.

The thread is full of similar answers, I would like to add my opinion with different outlook though.

I will never accept my salary in the form of BTC. Let's assume you get it in the form of BTC. Now, this is more or less foreign currency for us since it's out of the box currency if seen with regulatory point of view. So there comes few challenges while using this salary at the end of day!!

Whenever I will have to use it, I will have to either cash it out from local exchanger (extra fees to be paid). OR I will have to look for the shops which accept the bitcoin directly. Some of them will literally make you await until there is at least one confirmation on the blockchain.

In case of emergencies, I am dam sure bitcoin would be the worst payment portal since no healthcare sector will accept it or has provision to trade it.

So, if I am getting my salary in terms of RTGS, SWIFT, directly credited to bank then that's the bestest.

In our country, it is illegal and punishable. In my country, Bitcoin can only be used as a stock and investment commodity. Our government has passed laws that say that paying and purchasing using cryptocurrency is illegal and will result in penalties or fines. However, bitcoin holders who do not use it as a payment method are legal.

You might be able to get away with this easier if you are paying an independent contractor, but paying your employees salary with anything other than local fiat seems like it could be a logistic nightmare and challenging to do legally.

IMO, receiving salary digitally and actual money doesn't have many differences, and receiving digital money doesn't mean we must pursue BTC as salary.

People are very practical these days, with or without pandemic or crisis, workers prefer to receive the exact amount of their salary. Unlike in BTC, there's a chance, even it's little, that price might go down on the time where they received the salary through BTC payment. So BTC for a salary isn't really practical especially here in our country where most people value money. It will be only applicable to those people who have huge salaries and do have knowledge or doing investments.

Well, it'll be a good move as long as it promotes cryptocurrency in our country but I'm sure that only a few people will agree on this. Also, most people threat bitcoin as an asset, not a currency, so it'll be hard to adapt it as payment for salary.

it all depends on the policies of the government of the country, if the country has legalized cryptocurrency, of course paying employee salaries does not violate the rules, but if cryptocurrency is still illegal in the country, then paying employee salaries via bitcoin is a prohibition, all lies in the status of bitcoin in a country
