better-paid

More financially rewarded

Better-paid describes work or workers receiving higher compensation than others in comparison: Teachers in private schools are often better-paid than their public school counterparts.

The comparison may be explicit or implied—better-paid than before, than similar roles, or than average.

Also spelled as one word: betterpaid.
