Payroll & HR Solutions for the Cannabis Industry.

We can take care of that for you! We’ve been serving the cannabis industry since 2016 so we have a large network of partners that offer cannabis-friendly employee benefits and qualified retirement plans.

Not all banks are set up to help cannabis businesses like yours. From taxes to common expenses they just don’t have the experts on staff with knowledge of the industry. When you become a Paragon partner we work with banks nationwide, on your behalf, to provide you payroll services that are best-of-the-best.

We’re sorry that happened to you. It’s all too common and we’re here to change that. With Paragon you have access to a trustworthy team that walks alongside you to offer open and transparent cannabis payroll and HCM solutions.

As a national payroll and HR provider, Paragon understands the complexities of multi-state operators (MSO) and the challenges of managing multiple EIN and state compliance challenges. Give us a call and one of our knowledgeable staff members will be ready to help.

Section 280E of the Internal Revenue Code limits businesses from deducting typical business expenses from gross income associated with the “trafficking” of Schedule I or II substances, as defined by the Controlled Substances Act. The IRS has subsequently applied Section 280E to state-legal cannabis businesses, since cannabis is still a Schedule I substance. Our workforce management solutions at Paragon help you capture every dollar spent on cost of goods sold (COGS) and our team guides you through the tax process so that your company can continue to grow.

Since the cannabis industry is still fairly new, with uncharted territory, many companies charge more to handle payroll. At Paragon we partner with cannabis companies all over the country and our service fees are in line with each industry we serve.
