“Our payroll company, Paylocity, dropped us when they found out we were in the cannabis industry. I had to scramble to decide what we were going to do as Paylocity gave us 30 days before they deactivated our contract.” – Stacey, Director of Human Resources at Green Dragon.
Take a look at additional messages that came into our inbox from companies that previously used ADP, Quickbooks and more for their cannabis payroll:
Sadly, we hear these types of messages often.
A number of cannabis companies have come to Wurk after being suddenly dropped by their payroll or HR company, mostly as a result of banking regulations. And these scenarios are not just limited to dispensaries, but encompasses other verticals – even medical offices or pharmaceutical operations.
The following companies are known to NOT support the legal marijuana industry and have abruptly dropped clients they found to be operating in the industry:
- ADP
- Ultimate Software
- Bamboo HR
- Paylocity
- Paycom
- Quickbooks
