Below is the practical workflow Rise supports for full-time employee payroll.

Rise supports full-time employment globally through Employer of Record (EOR). This lets companies hire full-time employees without opening a local entity.

With Rise EOR:

• Rise employs the team member on the company’s behalf
• Rise handles local labor law compliance
• Rise handles employer and employee taxes
• Rise provides compliant employment agreements
• Rise manages payroll per local rules
• Rise supports hybrid payroll (local currency and/or crypto)

EOR coverage note: Rise is constantly launching new EOR countries, adds new EOR markets every week, and is targeting 60+ EOR markets by end of 2026.

For EOR employees, Rise handles:

• KYC/AML
• Employment agreements
• Tax documentation
• Local labor law compliance
• Payroll setup

This is the foundation that makes stablecoin payroll workable at employee scale: the payroll engine remains compliant while payout options become flexible.

Employers fund payroll using:

• USD (bank transfer), or
• USDC/USDT (crypto wallet)

Rise then manages the conversion layer as needed and prepares payouts.

Employees log into Rise and choose their withdrawal method:

• Local currency or crypto
• One option or multiple options
• Split percentages across accounts and wallets if desired

This is the operating principle Rise uses consistently: Rise lets global workers choose how they want to be paid (local currencies, stablecoins, crypto, or a mix).

Once payroll is funded and employees have set withdrawal preferences, payouts occur automatically based on the payroll cycle and the employee’s chosen options.

A stablecoin payroll program only works if the employee experience is simple and compliant.

Rise’s employee onboarding is structured as a clear sequence designed for fast setup and reliable global payments.

• Receive an email invitation to join Rise
• Sign up and select “Join as a payee” (not “Send payments”)
• Choose onboard as an Individual
• Complete KYC with a valid government-issued ID
• Create a signing passkey

• Health insurance enrollment form
• Tax declaration form
• Employment agreement

Rise supports Daily Payroll, meaning earnings are available daily, with funds arriving midnight GMT on workdays.

Employees can set up direct deposit or withdraw manually, then choose where funds are sent by adding bank accounts and crypto wallets under Withdraw Options.

Benefits are managed through Ease (health) and ForUsAll (401(k) after one month).

Support is available at [email protected].

Paying full-time employees in stablecoins can be a real advantage, but only when it’s operationally clean, compliant, and easy for employees to use.

Rise delivers that by combining global payroll, automated onboarding, identity verification, tax documentation, and hybrid payout rails in one platform.

For teams that want a structured stablecoin implementation without building internal ops, book a demo with Rise to see the workflow end-to-end.
