Problem is students are adults with bills to pay. Getting paid for 20 hrs a work when 40 is expected and many programs don’t want you to have side jobs is problematic.
In that case, they can GET PAID 20 hrs per week to work on something that also happens to be their thesis. This is a fantastic option when faculty are able to make this happen

Pro tip: if your trainee (esp one with a very intersectional identity) is complaining about not getting paid in a consistent matter, it's not your place, as a person of power to tone police an email inquiring where their money is. Your job is to make sure they get paid..
