compensation
Pay for work
Compensation is what you receive in exchange for something—typically money for work: The job offers competitive compensation.
It also means making up for a loss or deficiency: He received compensation for his injuries; She compensated for her shyness with humor.
In psychology, compensation is unconsciously counterbalancing a weakness by emphasizing a strength.
