stipendiary

Receiving fixed wages

Stipendiary describes someone who receives a stipend—a fixed regular payment for services.

The term appears most often in legal and ecclesiastical contexts: a stipendiary magistrate is a paid professional judge rather than a volunteer, and a stipendiary curate receives a salary from the church.

As a noun, a stipendiary is a person receiving such payment.
