greek democracy only existed in Athens and only for a short time. it was very different than ours, it was only for freeborn men that were not in debt - no women, no poor, slaves could never participate even if they were given or earned freedom.

Early Greek democracy was a direct democracy. There would be occasional town meetings that took place in the amphitheaters where all citizens could discuss and vote on the issues of the day.
No, greek slaves did not get paid but if their family was wealthy they could buy them selves out of slavery.
