In forward-thinking Silicon Valley, many individuals and businesses have made profitable investments in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Employers may want to take advantage of healthy appreciation and pay their employees in this increasingly-valuable currency. But employers must use caution. Employment laws still apply to regulate the manner in which a worker must be paid. Wage and hour disputes are more difficult with cryptocurrency, and there is not yet clear case law to define these issues. Employers should consult with an experienced Silicon Valley employment law attorney before making the decision to switch to crypto.
