Title: [2016-03-22] CD: German Tech Magazine t3n Trials Employee Bitcoin Payroll
Post by: Scream on March 23, 2016, 01:19:07 AM
German tech magazine t3n has announced it will now allow employees to receive a portion of their salary in bitcoin.

The news is the result of a partnership between t3n and local bitcoin startup PEY, which is now developing a payment solution for bitcoin merchants with US-based startup BitPay.

t3n said it has been conducting a trial of the payroll service since November, with employees receiving €20 worth of bitcoin with each paycheck. From here, however, workers will be able to adjust this payment, depending on their risk tolerance.

In a blog post, the magazine said it sought to embark on the trial as a way to boost the wider bitcoin ecosystem and to learn more about the technology, writing:
