    yes this is passive tense:

    - They get paid low wages = means The employer paid them low wages.

    you also can say: They are paid little money, low salaries, low wages.

    ;)

     

    Yes. You can also write, "they are paid low wages".

    The whole point is that the main subject ("they") receives the action. An active sentence would say what "they" do.
