I had thought no later Day Saints Leaders were paid but I was mistaken it would appear. I would like to expand your question to at what level do they start receiving payment and is it salary or just to off set costs of doing the lords work?

Yes given you back ground I bet you do. I shall have to start a thread on this in a more general topic so as not to clutter this one with this discussion we are about to embark on. It is a pet peeve of mine.
