My business does not have a steady income(catering). How do I take care of payroll?

you most have cash on hand our you will have some angry pople

Pay by Job the money you get from catering job divide out to your employees like they are part of your over all operation.

Regardless, you have to pay your people, or get sued in court. Period. You should have thought of this BEFORE you hired people, that is a crime, punishable by a jail sentence.

You shouldn't have people on payroll if you don't have a steady cash flow. I know it might be tough but you'll have to find employees that will be willing to come through in a pinch. If you have to hire, employ only those employees that will be able to make a contribution to your company even when there are no orders such as scouts that will help you drum up business. Best of luck to you in your new venture.

You need to manage your cash flow. Go to http://www.score.org/template_gallery.html and download the Excel template for estimating cash flow.

At first I would hire contract labor, hire and pay them by the job, not by the hour or on salary. Maybe pay them on a percentage basis.

Pay your employees when you get paid. Make sure they understand that when you call them for a job.

call a bank tell them I'm sure that will help . where are you do LIVE DO u want more bussiness .? word of mouth is great for success GOOD QUESTION

Do not hire anyone until you can afford it. For you, it may mean lots of extra hours. Don't let that bother you because you're building a business. When you know for sure that you can pay someone, then hire them to free you up a little. I would advise AGAINST taking out any loans. Do this steady and slowly. You're a STRONG FOCUSED turtle. Not a quick and cut corner rabbit. You may even want to pay employees with equity in the business. Get professional help on doing this though to make sure its structured correctly and fairly for you and the employee.
