Yes and no. Whether a medieval worker was paid depended on the situation.

Many serfs worked on manors where they raised all sorts of crops. Instead of paying rent on the land they used, they worked on the fields the lord of the manor owned. In addition to getting use of land and a home, they also got protection from criminals and armies in wartime out of this, but money was not part of deal.

People who were not serfs generally worked for pay or for themselves. There were also times when the serfs got paid.

Scribes were considered as members of the royal court. This means that they did not have to pay taxes or perform manual labor. They were paid handsomely for their work, because they were so high in the hierarchy.
