It really depends on the family's situation.
For younger children, probably not. It is good for them to learn to do things because it helps the family, not because they get something out of it. They can be thanked and shown appreciation, but adding a monetary value can confuse the message.
As they get into the teen years, they will be wanting to do more things like going out to movies with friends or picking up new outfits. When it reaches that point, you have to decide if you want them getting a job outside of the home or focusing more on school activities. If you would rather they not work outside the home, it is a good idea to offer to pay for chores that are above and beyond their basics.
Some banks offer teen checking accounts that attach to the parent's account. The teen can get their own debit cards, and it makes it easy for the parent to transfer in chore payments, and to see where their teen is spending their money. It can be a good tool for helping your child understand money and budgeting.
