As a general rule (there were variations):

Not if they were defending their farms - they turned out to defend their proper.

If they were bent on stealing another city's property, their pay was the spoils of proerty from the defeated.

If they were on an expeditionary force they were paid in order to pay for their food.

Yes, Greek soldiers, particularly those in the city-state of Athens, were paid for their military service. The soldiers received wages and could also be rewarded with spoils of war or bonuses for exceptional valor in battle.
