      her response to the dm about finding some cheap artists says it all. i'm sure she didn't give her employees payment for making the posters in the past either.

        Of course she paid them, it was just another task they did while on duty, like brewing coffee or taking out the trash. Surely you’re not expecting her to pay someone who is already on payroll and being paid for their time extra because they’re making posters?

          If making posters is outside of the scope of their normal job duties as it had previously been defined, then yes, absolutely I'd expect them to be paid extra.

          Just because they're on payroll and being paid for their time doesn't mean you can instruct them to do anything you ask.

            True. I can’t speak from experience, but this seems like it might often fall within the scope of normal job duties, though.
