"can I report cash that I pay to my employees as an expense"

You can pay in cash, but it still should have been Payroll. Cash as takehome is fine, but "employee" means Payroll.

You need to seek local help to work through the issues. You would not want to find out you violated State and Federal labor laws and pay requirements.

No one on the internet can help you with this issue.
