remunerates

Remunerates is the third-person singular present tense of the verb remunerate. It means to compensate someone for services rendered, work performed, or losses endured. In formal or legal writing, to remunerate is to provide payment or other forms of consideration in exchange for labor or fulfillments of obligations. In everyday language, more common verbs such as pay, compensate, or reward are often used.

Remuneration, the associated noun form, refers to the overall compensation provided for work or services. A remuneration package typically includes base pay (salary or wages) plus additional elements such as bonuses, incentives, benefits, and sometimes non-cash rewards. The verb remunerate and its forms are used to describe the act of delivering this compensation to employees, contractors, suppliers, or other parties.

Usage context varies by jurisdiction and industry. In employment contracts, firms outline remuneration arrangements to define what workers will receive and when. In corporate governance and HR reporting, remuneration is a key metric for assessing compensation practices, executive pay, and the alignment between performance and reward. The term tends to be more common in formal, financial, or regulatory language; in everyday speech, speakers typically use pay, compensate, or reward.
