Hello Sara, in Germany we suggest the staff should register with their institution and declare on their user page who they are. We had a year long project on paid editing <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:German_Wikipedia_WikiProject_on_How_to_deal_with_Paid_Editing> culminating in a request for comment. The result was, that paid editing is ok as long as the editor is respecting the neutral point of view <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view> and avoiding edits where conflict of interest <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest> would lure.
