Abstract
This chapter considers variables influencing student remuneration associated with work-integrated learning (WIL). An interpretative approach is taken, with issues examined from a number of perspectives. Through this examination, the differing (and sometimes conflicting) needs of stakeholders, including students, workplaces/industry partners, and academic institutions, are identified. The chapter focuses on placement-based WIL in credit-bearing offerings and covers educational and legal perspectives, as well as ethical dilemmas, with examples from several countries and disciplines. The influence of payment on WIL experiences is variable and not always generalizable beyond a specific situation. The role of payment must never be considered in isolation from the total WIL experience. In any given situation, stakeholders need to understand why a WIL position is paid or unpaid. They need to consider the impact of the remunerative arrangement on all parties, with a focus on placing student learning at the forefront of the experience.
