Do non-executive directors get paid? If so, how much?

Question

By definition they are not employed by their respective firms, so how are they reimbursed for their contribution?

Thank You

" the average FTSE 100 non-executive director is paid about £42,000."

"The range of non-exec director salaries in the UK has also grown, with the lowest paid earning just £5,000 and the highest paid earning £95,000."
