Hi Katarina,

Thanks for reaching out. Did you ever find an answer to your question? Contract employees are generally set up as vendors in Sage 50 CA. 

See Sage 50 CA's in product F1 help screen for the following details. "To set up your contractors, you need to create a vendor record for each contractor, and select the Contractor (Time & Billing) option in each record. When you receive the contractor's invoice, you can allocate the costs to specific projects (an amount or percentage) at the same time as you pay their bill... You can also use time slips to track your contractor time, and then add the tracked time to both sales and purchase invoices."

You could "Tip" a contractor a bonus via invoice from the Vendor / Contractor that you pay.



Hope this helps!

Warm Regards, 
Erzsi

I realize this is too late but for others who may have a similar situation.

You could enter an 'invoice' in Acct Payable to the contractor but use the promo/advertising as the expense account. The invoice nbr can just be 'BonusMMM/DD/YY' and still be added to the project.
