That is usually called "employment" (or more generally "paid work" / "wage labor").

- Employment: performing tasks or services under an agreement in return for wages, salary, or other compensation.
- Wage labor: specifically selling your labor to an employer for pay.
- Self-employment: working for income as your own employer (also paid work, but not as an employee).

Do you need a formal/legal definition or a synonym for a particular context?
