I'm filing schedule C but it doesn't give me an option to enter salary expense. It doesn't have an expense line item for it.

Did you hold out taxes and give them a W2? Employees get a W2. If you paid them as independent contractor, outside labor, etc you give them a 1099NEC. Don't know if you need to give a 1099NEC to foreign people.
Assuming you didn't deduct taxes and give them a W2 then enter it as Contract Labor on Schedule C line 11.
If they are employees and you do have payroll, it goes on line 26.
(Don't know if this work for the Online version this year but should get you close)
