Remuneration is the total compensation an employee receives for work, including base pay (wages or salary) and the benefits that accompany it. In HR terms, this umbrella term captures both cash and non-cash rewards tied to the job, forming the complete pay package.

Reimbursement covers repaying employees for business expenses incurred while performing their duties, not the pay for the work itself.

Relocation involves costs related to moving to a new work location and isn’t the ongoing compensation for labor.

Repatriate refers to returning an employee to their home country after an international assignment, not to compensation.

So, the term that best fits “the money paid for work, including wages and benefits” is remuneration.
