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.
