well-paid
Earning good money
Well-paid describes work or workers that receive good compensation: a well-paid job, well-paid executives.
The hyphen appears when the term precedes a noun; after a verb, it often drops: The position is well paid.
The term implies compensation above average for comparable work, though what counts as well-paid shifts with context—well-paid for a teacher differs from well-paid for a lawyer.
