Slaves were slaves, they were not paid. At least not a salary. Slaves received tips and gifts and at certain times of the year, such as the Saturnalia, they received either a bonus or a gift. The urban domestic slaves received more in the way of compensation than the country farm workers as they were in closer contact with the master and his family and their services were often rewarded more frequently than those of the rural slave.
