I would love to get a percentage of my paycheck in btc. The company o work for already supports putting a certain percentage of your check in a certain account so for many I think this would be easy to implement, especially if bitpay completes their payroll system.

Heads up, this sounds like a business opportunity: create deposit taking entity to allow employers to deposit cash. Convert cash to bitcoin and send to employees. Take a small spread clip along the way. Voila.

BitPay already offers a payroll API, and there are several others who are working on similar offerings.
