TRX Post explains what an employer can see after paying salary in bitcoin
A post on r/Bitcoin describes how an employer who pays salary in bitcoin can observe when that output is spent and inspect the resulting transaction's outputs and amounts. It says output sizes, round local-currency prices or known addresses can provide clues, and that combining salary coins with coins from other sources can give an observer reason to associate both inputs.
