Presumably Station, considering he was able to give the Lieutenant shares in the company.

If your amenities are covered, you don't need actual money. But I don't doubt that if Station can offer them the job, he can get them on the paylist, too.

IIRC those shares were a portion of his own considerable personal holdings in the company, so it would have been a private transaction. 

But, yes, other than the USAF security detail and a flight ("platoon" to ground-pounders) or two of human and AI techs to physically turn wrenches, everyone on board is under operations in some way, shape, or form.  That's what keeps the facility's life support plant down to a size that makes the activity economically viable.  Absolutely, Station would be in charge of payroll and accounting along with all the other myriad support activities on the station.

It's not about need, I'm thinking of want. Unless Tilly is an extraordinarily dedicated communist.

I suspect Station is more or less in charge of hiring decisions, and only has to run it past Dr. Dad to get approval.
