Of course they got paid. Would you work for nothing? Some of them were paid very well for their services. Even slaves were given money in the form of tips and bonuses for jobs well done.
The Roman Empire mined its salt, from salt ponds along the Adriatic Sea and in Greece. Smaller quantities were produced by evaporating brine along the Tyrrhenian Sea west of Italy. Normally, prisoners and slaves were used for this purpose, which is the basis for the slang term "working in the salt mine," which is drudgery, or working in tedious, oppressive conditions.

The Romans never used salt as coins. The Romans always used metals for their coins right from the beginning. It was said that in the earlier days of Rome sometimes the Roman soldiers were paid with salt at times of war. This was because salt was a very important commodity. It was the only known food preservative. Sometimes during wars the prices of salt shot up and the soldiers were given salt to send to their relatives. Not all modern historians agree with this as some think that it was not true.

That is a fairy story - where would you find all that salt? They symbolically put salt in a plough furrow, and after selling the people into slavery, resettled their retired military veterans there.
For a time, salt was the currency of the Roman Empire. The army was paid in blocks of salt. Our word salary comes from that time in history. Eventually, coins were minted because it was easier for a Roman to carry a pouch of coins rather than 100 pounds of salt, when going shopping.
