Slaves in the ancient world did not get paid. They received food, clothing and shelter and that was all their owners were obligated to provide for them. However the Romans (and possibly some other cultures as well) gave their slaves opportunities to earn "side money". This came from tips and presents either from the owner or from another free person for a job/service performed. Obviously, the city or domestic slaves fared much better on the financial scale than the rural slaves.

The definition of "slave" is someone who is forced to work. They didn't get paid. They were owned by the rich Pompeians and worked because they had no other options.
