user30977: I just got my bank account closed.

Reason: International payment were not supported

I don't like to waste my time in bank formalities. I am a programmer. I wish to stay technical for most of the part. 

user5486: Probably not - I mean you're not in an absolute position to demand them to compensate you via bitcoin.  Can you possibly get an E-checking account with someone like INGDirect then have your BTC automatically dispursed via bitwage or even lawnmower...I think you could even do an auto-rebuy with coinbase if you felt inclined to do so. 

user5406: No. You can ask nicely, but unless your company operates in a country that has declared Bitcoin legal tender you have no legal grounds to enforce it.
