Commentary for Avodah Zarah 126:1

לא משום שביעית ולא משום מעשר ולא משום יין נסך

[about their eating and drinking the produce of] the Sabbatical year or tithe or yayin nesekh.

Daf Shevui to Avodah Zarah

The employer here is not paying his employees; he is feeding them while they are working for him. Nevertheless, he does not need to be concerned that they will use this money to buy prohibited food or drink. Once they buy food products, the products are theirs, not his, and they are transgressing, not he.
