Hi DesiOPT, You guys are awesome. I am on OPT, I am on bench & now I got one opportunity with big client for demonstration 4 hours and Client is going to Pay for that four hours. My question is for this 4hours also, Do I need to run the pay roll? Will it be OK that I can deposit 4hours pay check to my account without running payroll? Please help me. Thank you in advance.

Ask client to pay cash or issue company check and show as business expense.
