Does get paid mean receive the income? Is there any other difference between them?

Best Answer

Too short a context to comment on. get paid could mean several things.

You'll get paid for your deeds - You'll receive good/bad fortune for all what you do. Here, getting paid has nothing to do with payment!
You'll get paid for this work - Certainly, here, you receive the income (money).

Another interesting meaning is here where it means obtaining cash through other than commonly respectable means.
