Labor costs
If someone helps at my booth, how do I account for paying them?
If someone helps at your booth and you pay them, that payment should be recorded as a business expense.
How vendors typically record this
Most vendors record helper payments as:
- Event labor.
- Contract help.
- Temporary assistance.
Be sure to note:
- Date.
- Amount paid.
- Event name or purpose.
Important considerations
If someone helps regularly or earns significant amounts over time, additional tax or reporting rules may apply. Keeping accurate records from the start makes year-end easier.
Stop Guessing. Start Growing.
Stop waiting until the end of the month to see if you made money. Get instant clarity on every sale, even without Wi-Fi.
