remunerate
Give earned wages
Remunerate means to pay someone for work or services rendered.
The word is formal—you're more likely to encounter it in contracts, corporate documents, or discussions of compensation policy than in everyday speech: The company remunerates its executives handsomely.
The noun remuneration covers salary, benefits, and other forms of payment.
