If you mean Cottars as in farmers, most of them did not get paid, they rented land from a landowner with no other income other than what they grew for themselves. The few that were more prosperous may have received some cash after all other expenses were paid. There was no incentive to make a profit as the landlord increased to rent to suit

The medieval cottar is believed to have been a simple serf, who lived by farming and who had limited lands to farm and no special office. The role of the cottar was to grow food.
The word cottage originally meant the home of a cottar.

A cottar was very like a serf, who worked on the land in exchange for a place to live, food, and protection. In ancient times, a distinction was drawn between the two, but it is unclear today what the distinction was. In some places, cottars were freemen, and it may be that the distinction between a cottar and a serf was that the cottar was not bound to the land, and could leave, if he wished, to go somewhere else.

The term peasant encompassed a number of different types, including freemen, villeins, cottars, bordars, serfs, and slaves.
The link below goes to an article on serfdom, and to the section of the article describing the various types of peasants. Unfortunately, the term serf is used in the article to mean peasant, in some places, and a peasant who is bound to the land, in others.

The serfs or peasants job was too cultivate the land and grow crops on it. They also worked for the lord in many ways. Various types of serfs had different jobs cottars were the craftsmen while tenants were free men but still worked on the lord's land. Serfs were the biggest bulk of the population and they were watched over by the lords.
The wifes and girls worked with the animals.

Usually, cottars farmed, but this was not necessarily the case. They had to pay rent, and they had jobs, but the jobs could include being a potter, weaving, making bricks, tanning leather, or any of a number of other jobs that could be done in a hamlet or village.
A third answer: Cottar is related to the word cottager. It refers to a peasant who hold no land beyond a cottage, its immediate yard, and a small plot of garden land (half and acre to an acre) adjoining it called a croft. Cottagers could be either free or serf, the main difference being that the serf cottagers would owe a certain amount of labor to the lord the manor. The amount of produce available from the cottars own holdings were generally insufficient to support a family, so cottars would work as hired laborers and also practice basic crafts such as brewing and spinning to supplement their income.

Serfs were on about the same social level as villeins and cottars.
Serfs were above slaves, if any existed in the place where the serfs lived. Serfs were not bought or sold, but they were not free to leave the land on which they lived. They were mostly agricultural workers and unusually had plots of land assigned to them to farm for their own benefit.
Villeins were like serfs, but did not have plots of land assigned to them.
Cottars were apparently like serfs except that they were not bound to the land and had the option of moving away, which would have been a rather risky thing to do since it would leave them without home or income, unless they had some other arrangement. The nature of the cottar is not clearly understood, however.
Above the serf, but not necessarily much above, were freemen, who were not bound to the land.
Most of these people worked in agriculture, but they had other types of work to do. The simpler non agricultural chores of life were performed largely by serfs. These things included cleaning, helping cooks, lugging bricks for masons, digging ditches, washing and repairing clothes, and so on. They might have included such work as weaving, baking, cooking, depending on circumstances. Clearly there were hierarchies within job types.

Who?
Answer:
Cottars were the Scottish or Irish equivalent to sharecroppers in the American south.
A medieval cotter would dress as any other peasant in basic and practical clothing. It would consist of:
- breeches, or tight drawers, mostly made of leather
- tight tunics or doublets
- capes or cloaks of coarse brown wool
- a belt, to which the knife, the purse, and sometimes the working tools were suspended.
- shoes or large boots (generaly arefoot was in style to save the expensive boots)
- a woolen or skin hat in cold or wet weather
- work gloves were sometimes worn if needed for hand protection

The Magna Carta guaranteed the right to be consulted before taxes were raised. The right to a jury trial. The right not to have their life, liberty, or property taken without just reason.
The Magna Carta was a legal document signed by King John in 1215. It guaranteed English men to the right of Habeas Corpus, or a trial if they were arrested. It also ensured that the King would not raise taxes without getting the approval of the Barons first.

Peasants were farmers and other laborers. There were many types of peasants. One type of peasant was a serf. A serf was not a slave, and a slave would have been below a serf, but in many places there were no slaves in the middle ages.
Serfs were not free to move away from the manors where they lived, and they had to give the lord of the manor labor, a share of the crop, or money for rent. Serfs were of different types, and these included villeins and bordars, and possibly cottars, though these might have been considered freemen.
Freemen were peasants above the usual serfs, as they were free to leave the manor to move elsewhere, if they wished to do so.
There is a link below to the section of an article on serfdom that discusses the class distinctions.

None. They were tenant farmers on the land owned by the king and his nobles.
Answer:
This is true, the land a peasant worked on was actually owned by a lord and the peasant would therefore be required to give a portion of his harvest (about 20% I think) to this lord.
In saying that, the amount of land a single peasant and his family would live on varied from as little as 5 acres to as much as 40 acres. I would estimate that most peasant families would have worked and lived on about 15-20 acres of land.

Shepherds were among the very poorest of the peasant class; they would be bordars or cottars with their own small cottage and very little land, but enough to grow some crops including spelt, emmer, wheat, oats, rye, barley or oats (collectively known as corn) and vegetables such as parsnip, beans, peas, onions, leeks, garlic and radish.
They would eat mainly bread in large quantities, cheese, vegetables (and fruit during the summer months), with almost no protein from meat in their diet but the occasional fish. Drink would mainly be ale, or water if it came from a stream or some other clean and safe source.
In England all shepherds had ancient customary rights dating back to before the Norman Conquest, one of which was the right to a bowl of whey or buttermilk every day during the summer. Buttermilk was produced in the manorial dairy as a by-product of butter making while whey was a product of cheese making.

Peasants did a lot of different things, such as farming and milling and such; however, the lowly peasants were either unemployed, or were what they called, 'cottars'. Cottars were the lowest of peasantry, and since peasants were really low... well, you can imagine. They were pretty much at rock bottom of the social ladder. They were swine-herds and prison guards, but they also did things like cleaning homes and other odd jobs.

Feudem is a Latin word meaning to give land in return for services. As king, William owned all the land in England. But he could not manage it on his own, and he wanted to reward those supporters who had helped him beat Harold in the Battle of Hastings. So he shared the land with his loyal followers.
William lent large estates of land to powerful barons. They gave smaller areas of this land, called manors, to knights. Knights were fighting men with little knowledge of farming. So they shared their manors among peasants, or villeins, who worked on it.
Lending land in this way was called the feudal system. In the system, each person made promises in return for their land.
The feudal system was totally new, however before 1066 their was an organising like the feudal system. But unlike the feudal system the people did not have to make promises for their land, they had to pay money for their land. As in both systems there was ranking of the people and the king was at the top and then to follow was the church.
In the system before 1066 the rankings were in the following order
The king and the Church , the earls, the thegns, the ceorls, the cottars and the serfs.
After 1066 in the feudal system the ranking were in the following order
The king and the Church, the barons, the knights, the villeins

Serfs earned the right to live on the land by working it. Sometimes they were not paid, and sometimes they were paid very little. Sometimes they could earn money by selling some of the food they grew, but they had to pay rent to their lords.

It was the highest. The lord was the one who made all the rules, and everyone had to follow them.
-----
A lord did not have a specific rank. The younger sons of an Earl, for example, were called lords, but they were commoners and did not necessarily have any rank of nobility at all. A man titled Lord Chamberlain did not necessarily have a noble rank either, though he had a high position. The lord of a manor was likewise not a person who necessarily had a specific rank, and was most likely a commoner. A person could be a knight without being a lord, but a person could also be a lord of a manor without having a rank as high as knighthood.

The observer and writer Alexander Neckham has left a complete list of the contents of a church during his time (the late 12th century), which changed very little until the post-medieval period.
He wrote that furnishings consisted of a baptismal font (at the rear of the church), a crucifix (also call a Rood), a Little Mary and other images (painted icons), a lectern, a ewer, basins, a chair, the chancel, an elevated seat, a stool, candlesticks, the piscina or lavabo, the stone altar, a case for images, cruets, pyxides, a bier for coffins, a towel, a fine white linen cloth on the altar, gilded vessels, a thurible or censer, and service books for the use of the priest. Bells would be hung in the tower and the oak doors would have locks.
There were no seats for the congregation, who had to sit on the floor, kneel or stand. There was no organ or other music. There were no hymn books for the congregation (who could not read), no cushions or other comforts. All the seats and stool mentioned above were for the use of the priest and his assistants.
The interior walls were brightly painted with scenes from the Bible, or with scenes from the lives of Saints or other religious paintings; sometimes the columns and arches would be painted in very bright sequences of colour.
During services the church would be filled with people, who often brought their sick animals for blessing and sprinkling with Holy Water in the hope of a cure; mentally ill people were also brought to church and tied to the Rood screen with rope (again in the hope of a cure).

The feudal system was based on the king and the Church owning every inch of land. Everyone else was allowed to holdportions of it, and have sub-tenants holding land from them, in return for services and payments of various kinds.
This is the reason for the compilation of Domesday Book, so that the newly-crowned king William I could calculate the value of all his land and the expected income from the entire kingdom.
The word "tenant" comes from Latin teneo, I hold. The cottars at the very bottom of the social ladder might hold about 12 to 15 acres of land from a knight (lord of the manor); a freeman might hold 60 acres and each would pay in work, in rents and customary services. The knight might hold all his manors from a higher-ranking knight in return for military service and the higher-ranking knight might hold his lands from an Earl, who held huge areas of land from the king.

The class of Medieval peasants comprised the free men, the cottars, and the villeins. None of these three types owned any land.
The free men were paying fixed duties for the land they were working, basically renting it, and they were not required to work for the benefit of the feudal master. The cottars worked for the lord, in return receiving a place to stay, and a small part of the harvest. The most numerous, and living the hardest live of all the Medieval peasants, were the villeins. The land they were living on belonged to the feudal lord, they had to pay taxes both to their master and to the Church, and they could not move freely from one domain to another. Harvesting was the most difficult period of the year, as the villein had to work both on his land and that of the lord. He was required to give a part of the best of his harvest to his master. Beside harvesting, he was required to provide other services like cutting trees, digging ditches, or building and maintaining the palisades.
The peasants did not work on Sundays, when they attended church service. They were allowed to form village courts, which had the role to solve any claims the villagers might have had against each other. These courts were supervised by a landlord representative. The villein's children, could attend the church school in the village, where they were learning prayers and songs, and received a basic instruction in mathematics and even Latin.
On his part, the landlord was required to protect his villeins against any hostile actions coming from other feudal lords or outlaws, and to help them in case of famine.
After the Black Plague, the life of Medieval peasants changed as the scarcity of the labor force allowed them to get better terms and conditions in their relation with the landlords.
A small poem of the 13th Century, entitled, "De l'Oustillement au Vilain," gives a clear sketch of the household of Medieval peasants, furniture, and working tools.
The dwelling of the peasant comprised three distinct buildings; the first for the corn, the second for the hay and straw, the third for the man and his family. A fire of vine branches and faggots sparkled in a large chimney furnished with an iron pot-hanger, a tripod, a shovel, large fire-irons, a cauldron and a meat-hook. Next to the fireplace was an oven, and in close proximity to it an enormous bedstead, on which the peasant, his wife, his children, and even the stranger who asked for hospitality, could all be easily accommodated; a table, a bench, a cheese cupboard, a jug, and a few baskets made up the rest of the furniture. The peasant also possessed other utensils, such as a ladder, a mortar, and some of them a hand-mill; a mallet, some nails, some gimlets, fishing lines, hooks, and baskets.
His working tools were a plough, a scythe, a spade, a hoe, large shears, a knife and a sharpening stone; he had also a wagon, with harness for several horses, used to accomplish the different tasks required, under the feudal rights, either by his lord, or by the sovereign.
His dress consisted of a blouse of cloth or skin fastened by a leather belt round the waist, an overcoat or mantle of thick woolen stuff, which fell from his shoulders to half-way down his legs; he was wearing woolen trousers, shoes or large boots, and from his belt hung his wallet and a sheath for his knife .
He generally went bare-headed, but in cold weather or in rain he wore a sort of hat, sometimes with a broad brim. He seldom wore padded gloves, except when engaged in hedging.
A small kitchen-garden, which he cultivated himself, was usually attached to the cottage, which was guarded by a large watch-dog. There was also a shed for the cows.
Beside Sundays, the Medieval peasants enjoyed the religious holidays, strictly kept by the Church, and they thought of nothing after church, but of amusing themselves; they drank, talked, sang, danced, and, above all, laughed. The "wakes," or evening parties, of very ancient origin, formed important events in the private lives of the peasants. It was at these parties that the legends and superstitions were mostly created and propagated.
Not all Medieval peasants were equal, and some of them became much wealthier than others. As these wealthy peasants were starting to imitate their masters, on a much smaller scale of course, some sort of a rudimentary "luxury" made his way into their households. As the 19th century archeologist Le Roux de Lincy noted: "At the end of the 15th century the old peasants complained of the changes in the village customs, and of the luxury which every one wished to display in his furniture or apparel."

The houses were wattle and daub. This means they were sticks woven together to make a wall and then covered with a coating of mud and straw. The roof was thatch. There usually was one door and no windows ( in some places windows were taxed). The floor was dirt and there was a fireplace. It was one room that everyone lived in. It was cold and wet in the winter, hot in summer. The lighting came from the fireplace and from tallow candles so it smelled of wood smoke and tallow.
---
Peasant cottages had no fireplace. They were not invented until the 11th or 12th century and were only built for rich people. The middle of that dirt floor was a nice place for a fire, and the smoke went out a hole in the roof or under the roof peaks.

Serfs were the lowest level of workers in most areas of medieval Europe, though in some there were slaves, who were at a lower level. Serfs were not slaves, but were not free to leave the land where they worked. Their obligation with their feudal lord was mutual; he had obligations to them, to provide a place and protect them, just as they had obligations to him, to give a part of the crop, or later, money for rent. Serfs could not be bought or sold. They belonged to the land, not the lord. If the lord sold the land, they went with it. The new owner did not have the option of moving them off the land.
Most serfs worked in agriculture, and lived on the land. Some lived in towns or villages, and formed the lowest level of laborers there. They could be cooks helpers, or even cooks. They could work in such trades as weaving. Miners were serfs of a sort. They could be masons' helpers. They did not usually occupy positions that involved mastery of a craft, such as the master masons, or the best cooks, who worked entirely for hire and were free. The serfs without plots of land were called villeins, a word related to the word village.
Various customs in various places allowed the serfs to become free, meaning they could leave the land they were born on and go elsewhere. In some cases, when a king needed to populate a new port, for example, they could be freed by running away and staying in the new town for a year. In other cases, such as after the Black Death, they were bribed off their land to farm lands of other lords that had been depopulated. The result is that serfdom ended in some places several generations before the end of the Middle Ages. The technicalities of ending serfdom took longer; for example, serfdom was technically legal in Scotland for four hundred years after it had died out nearly everywhere in the country. And in some places, such as Russia, it remained in practice into the nineteenth century.
Loosely, the term serf might be applied to anyone of peasant class, including laboring freemen, cottars, villeins, bordars, and even slaves. This use should be considered rather imprecise, however.

Peasants were treated badly like slaves (they can be classed as slaves)
-----
Peasants were mostly serfs, who were not entirely free, but many medieval peasants were yeomen or cottars, who were free. There were also some slaves in Europe, but the general tendency reduced the number in time because they were freed.
The serfs, who were the majority of the peasants, pretty much organized themselves. They paid rent, in the form of labor, part of the crop or money. In return for this they were guaranteed a job, a home, and protection from crime, war, and famine. It was a two way deal, in which they had rights and duties, and so did the lord on whose land they lived.
The reason serfs were not entirely free was that they were not legally allowed to leave the land. But even that was a two way thing. The lord was not allowed to evict them either, unless there was good reason, such as not paying rent.
There is a link below to an article describing this.

France saw large properties broken down into smaller properties with lesser nobility in charge. The nobles worked out various fee structures for use of land, mills, and fees to use woodlands. France's structure was so loose, that it was possible for a vassal to pledge to two or more overlords. This prompted the development of the 'liege lord' concept, which was sort of a pecking order in terms of who would be the primary lord the vassal would commit to.

Peasants were usually farmers because there weren't very much jobs and they didn't need to go to school to be a farmer. The work days were very long, and the cottages had only one room that served for the hole family.There usually wasn't any windows and there was no chimney. A fire was made in the fire place (usually in the middle of the room) and the smoke went out through a hole in the celing.They shared there house with the animals because this was like an extra heating.Peasants in the middle ages were rather unclean people because they didn't have any bath or showers. They bathed in the local river but not often maybe on a sunday because that was there day off.They had very simple and dirty clothes wich womens made at home.They had to pay taxes to the lord (he is the most important person in the village). They had 2 or 3 strips of land each to grow there crops and they had to leave each year a strip fallow (empty) to bring the goodness of the earth back to do this they used there animals because the animal did there business on the field.
