Engineer no Mikata Co., Ltd. has implemented a system to pay salaries and service fees to employees and contractors using JPYC, a Japanese yen-pegged stablecoin. The initiative allows eligible staff, including those under specific labor union agreements or outsourcing contracts, to receive compensation directly into designated public blockchain wallets.

The company intends for this move to provide engineers with firsthand experience in Web3 technologies while offering a high-speed, low-cost alternative to traditional financial institutions. Additionally, the program aims to address industry-wide challenges such as multi-layered subcontracting structures and opaque evaluation systems.
