Japanese internet company GMO Internet Group (https://www.gmo.jp/en/company-profile/history/) will be rolling out the system in February 2018, according to a report (https://www.coindesk.com/japans-gmo-internet-to-roll-out-bitcoin-payroll-system/) from Coindesk. Employees will have the option to choose a portion of their monthly salary, ranging from 10,000 yen ( around $89) to 100,000 yen (or $888), to be paid to them in Bitcoin.*
GMO will also throw in a 10 percent bonus (https://www.gmo.jp/news/article/?id=5872), as an incentive to encourage more investment, and the entire process will use GMO's own cryptocurrency referred to as "GMO coin." Read more... (http://mashable.com/2017/12/15/bitcoin-salary-japan-gmo/)
