Manage episode 357578928 series 3394208
If you’re an employee receiving your net salary at the end of the month, there is a series of financial operations that your employer must address.
Starting with your gross salary, there is a string of deductions like taxation, pensions, social security, medical insurance before arriving at your net salary - the actual funds that get credited in your bank account.
If you’re a company seeking to pay your employees and contractors in crypto, you need a single dedicated payroll solution that takes into account all these components, otherwise the payroll process becomes fragmented.
Enter Franklin, a hybrid fiat and crypto payroll solution which allows you to automate all payment flows for payroll.
