The wedding we did last night was for a local couple at a house in our neighborhood. They did not pay in advance as we usually require, but due to the circumstances, I was not concerned. (they had paid their $100 retainer)
Before the event started, they offered to pay the balance. They had a check made out to our company and I noticed it was from their business account. The amount had not been filled out. They asked if they could pay us after the event, in case they wanted us to stay longer. Again, due to the circumstances, I was fine with that.
The contracted termination time was 8:30pm and at that time, the bride herself asked us to stay for another hour. When 9:30pm came around, the FOB handed me cash for an hour of OT and asked if I would stay until 10:30pm.
When the gig ended at 10:30pm, the bride handed me the check from earlier, filled out for the remainder amount, plus one hour of OT (the other hour was paid in cash) and a $50.00 tip.
Today as I am writing the receipt, I am stuck on do I include the 1 hour of OT in the receipt or 2 hours? Do I include the tip on the receipt as it is included in the same check that paid the balance? If the OT / tip was all cash, I wouldn't be concerned but this is different.
