Can you list temporary laborer cost, when it doesn't elevate to W2 or 1099 prerequisites?

How do you claim payments to non employee?

Yes, it is deductible.  I assume you are filing a Schedule C to report self-employment.  If so, you can include it with Contract Labor expense.

That is Contract Labor Schedule C line 11. You can just enter the total or list each one. Only the total goes to schedule C.

You need to give a 1099NEC to anyone you paid $600 or more to for the year. But not to corporations or for merchandise. You send the IRS a copy of the 1099Misc with the transmittal summary form 1096. These are due to the person by Jan 31 and to the IRS by Jan 31 also.
