remunerated

Given earned wages

Remunerated means paid for work or services rendered.

The word is more formal than *paid* and typically appears in professional or legal contexts: Consultants are remunerated on a project basis.

It can also mean compensated more broadly—for losses, inconvenience, or effort: She was handsomely remunerated for her troubles.
