Church is approached by individual needing some money (family in need) but willing to work for it, they offer to do some yard work at church for $50.00. Can church write check to individual for yardwork? If so, how is it documented?
Thank you

Paying for yard work
AAnonymous in NC
Paying for yard work would be documented the same way you document other expenses of the church. Our church attaches a copy of the check to an invoice or in this case it might be a memo or note of some kind signed by the treasurer or whomever normally approves purchasing or expenses. We use a line item budget system; so in conjunction with the same authorizing people in the church, we would need to find a line item in our budget to charge it to when journalizing and posting the payment (example: maintenance expense, benevolence, or other miscellaneous item). Hope this helps.
