Services are tasks performed by someone for which they receive payment.
Services are defined as work that is performed in exchange for payment. This can include tasks such as a hairdresser cutting and styling a customer’s hair for a fee, a plumber fixing a leaky faucet and charging for their time and materials, or a lawyer providing legal advice and representation to a client for a fee. In each of these examples, a person is utilizing their skills or expertise to provide a service to their customers, and they expect to be paid for their time and knowledge.
