CannaInsider interviewed Stephen Sullivan of Ms. Mary Staffing in Denver, discussing how using a professional employer organization (PEO) can benefit cannabis companies. Outsourcing your employees to a third-party that can accept cash can allow the employees to be paid with checks and to receive normal benefits often not available to cannabis industry personnel.  Also, cannabis companies can avoid a 10% penalty for paying the IRS employment taxes in cash by having the PEO pay the tax. Sullivan covers several other potential benefits as well.
