Not paid, essentially. Quite to the contrary:

As Hyperion does not have any in-house developers, every work on OS4 has to be farmed out. I'm not sure what exactly you regard as "core components" of an OS, and I'd say there's more to an OS than just its core. You can read articles by some non-Frieden "AmigaOS core developers" about their work on OS components on the official Hyperion blog:
