High-risk industries need a partner who actually understands them. Here’s what ours say about working with Roll With Paid.
Roll With Paid. came in during the hardest year this business has had and took the people side of it off my plate completely. Our costs are down, our employment practices are in better shape than they have ever been, and every decision we have made about our team has been handled with real care. I would put them in front of any operator in this industry.

Compliance was keeping me up at night. Between state filings, I-9s, and workers’ comp, there were too many moving parts. Roll With Paid. consolidated all of it. We haven’t had a single late filing since we made the switch.
We didn’t need a full-time HR person, but we absolutely needed HR expertise. Roll With Paid.’s fractional support gave us exactly that: a handbook, an onboarding process, termination guidance. All without the overhead of a hire we weren’t ready for.
Our headcount swings dramatically with the seasons. Most payroll companies don’t know how to handle that, so we were constantly scrambling. Roll With Paid. built a system around how we actually operate, not how they wanted us to operate.
Honestly, I didn’t even know half of what I was missing until Roll With Paid. came in and pointed it out. Our onboarding was a mess, we had no real handbook, and nobody had ever explained our benefits properly to staff. It wasn’t dramatic. It was just quietly broken. Now it’s not.
Cannabis businesses face more scrutiny than any other industry. One missing I-9, a late tax deposit, or a misfiled state form can cost thousands. We handle all compliance behind the scenes, so you stay audit-proof without lifting a finger.
Late filings, incorrect withholdings, and misclassified employees create IRS notices that cost time and money. Roll With Paid. handles every payroll detail: deposits, filings, amendments and year-end prep. Your business never faces an avoidable penalty.
Most payroll problems don’t start with payroll. They start with everything attached to it. Roll With Paid. manages the full weight of employment under one system built for accuracy, protection, and scale.
Partner with Roll With Paid. for immediate business protection and risk mitigation. We help you achieve lower workers’ compensation rates, reduce unemployment tax exposure, minimize legal liabilities, and issue paystubs under our name to protect your brand. This move safeguards your employees against financial discrimination, while securing your business from unnecessary risk.
Payroll software and an employer of record both run your payroll, and the screens look much the same. The difference shows up on the day something goes wrong, in whose name is on the filing.

Federal tax under 280E, state rules amended since they were written, and most providers saying no.
Prevailing wage, certified payroll and the class codes that decide what a crew costs to staff.
Sovereign nation governance, state regulation and federal law, none of them agreeing.
Stay ahead with the latest on payroll, HR, compliance, and high-risk industries, including cannabis.

Yes. You retain full authority over hiring, management, scheduling, performance, and termination decisions. Roll With Paid. operates behind the scenes, handling payroll, compliance, benefits, and employment administration, without interfering in day-to-day operations.
Two parts. A service rate applied to gross wages, quoted by workers’ compensation classification code because a budtender and a grower do not carry the same risk, and an optional flat monthly HR retainer based on headcount. The rate sits on top of wages rather than replacing them, so a 16.94% rate on a $10,000 payroll is $1,694. Our pricing page shows illustrative rates by code and a calculator that separates the two. Your own rate comes after we have seen your payroll history and census.
No. Your employees continue to report to you, follow your policies, and operate within your culture. Roll With Paid. supports the administrative side of employment without disrupting your internal operations or team dynamics.
We’re Minnesota-based with deep expertise in MN-specific regulations, but our infrastructure supports multi-state operations. If you’re operating or expanding beyond Minnesota, we can support that.
After an initial call, Roll With Paid. handles the transition of payroll and employment administration into our system, minimizing disruption while ensuring accuracy and compliance from day one. Most clients are fully onboarded within one to two pay cycles.
“We remember where you came from, and we’re building where you’re going.”
For businesses that have grown through grit and are ready for infrastructure to match.
