Ideally, it should be done through a bank. However, if, by chance, an account is not available, you can pay such workers in cash and take their signatures as proof of payment. Then proceed to recover from the contractor, if he is still working with your company, or otherwise, absolve yourself of responsibility by making the payment on his behalf for that specific period.
