North Richland Hills, TX – December 2024 – The cannabis industry isn’t just growing—it’s evolving. And with that evolution comes a unique set of challenges. For too long, cannabis businesses have been burdened by outdated payroll systems, compliance nightmares, and the constant fear of fines and audits. Paragon Payroll has perfected how to tackle these pain points, but we’re not stopping there.

We’re breaking the grass ceiling by addressing more than just payroll and compliance. We’re empowering cannabis businesses to build a strong foundation for their future by tackling the full spectrum of HR needs: improving company culture, increasing employee retention, streamlining timekeeping and scheduling, modernizing hiring processes, and even creating pathways for employees’ long-term success through benefits and retirement planning.
Here’s how we’re making it happen, one real-world solution at a time:

Why We’re Here
Paragon Payroll was founded to address the unfair practices that have plagued the cannabis industry for too long. From inflated fees to inadequate support, cannabis employers have been forced to settle for less than they deserve.

“Our clients don’t need cookie-cutter one size fit all solutions—they need support that is built specifically for them, with fairness and integrity at the core,” said Brian McVicker, Chief Revenue Officer at Paragon Payroll. “We’re here to challenge the payroll/hr industry and give the tools people rightfully need to grow, thrive, and feel empowered. Our goal has always been to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with cannabis businesses, helping them overcome hurdles with confidence and not to be just another gatekeeper. We don’t just offer payroll and HR tools; we offer peace of mind and the freedom to grow.”
