Remunerazione is a formal synonym of stipendio ('salary') or compenso ('compensation'), used in contracts, legal documents, and HR contexts: la remunerazione del lavoro ('remuneration for work'). The adjective is remunerativo ('remunerative/rewarding'); the verb is remunerare. In everyday speech Italians prefer paga, stipendio, or compenso; remunerazione sounds distinctly bureaucratic.
