neutral  Germaine: C’est le bon sens: rémunération. However, all "revenues" are not "remunerations" or compensations.

neutral  Daryo: in fact, given the "context-free" way of asking of this Asker, we can't even be sure if the person whose accounts contain this term is "making a payment" or is "receiving a revenue" - with the limited info given it could as well be "other costs" !!!

Explanation:
I think that "professional fees" fits this context. See record 1 of http://www.btb.termiumplus.gc.ca/tpv2alpha/alpha-eng.html?la...

disagree  Germaine: ici, on parle de diverses formes de rémunération (commissions, courtages,...), pas de divers types de contrats. // Les commissions, courtages et ristournes ne sont pas des "contrats d’emploi à court terme".
1 day 1 hr

neutral  Ph_B (X): "short term" is good, but "contracts" amounts to overtranslation here.

vacation
sessional payment


Explanation:

Vacation describes short term missions and what you get paid for them:
Séance de travail dont la durée s'exprime généralement en heures ou demi-journées, qu'une personne consacre à une activité rémunérée… Rémunération versée pour chaque séance de travail.
https://www.cnrtl.fr/definition/vacation

The short term element is key here and the translation must reflect that. R&C suggests "sessional" and Cambridge appears to agree: https://dictionary.cambridge.org/fr/dictionnaire/anglais/ses... :

Both chairmen and panel members are employed and paid on a sessional basis."
De Hansard archive
"Funding covered the salary of one development worker, as well as sessional payments for tutors' fees and costs of transport."
De Cambridge English Corpus

Et pour faire bonne mesure :
◆ Par extension: Période d'une durée limitée pendant laquelle une personne se voit confier, à titre d'auxiliaire, une tâche, une fonction déterminée ; cette fonction. Vacation d'enseignement, de recherche. Être payé à la vacation.

neutral  Germaine: Nothing in the sentence to indicate that commissions/brokerages/discountss are "sessional payments" as well. See discussion. + "sessional payments" = compensation plan for Canadian physicians + In your last ref., "sessional" = session meaning in Education
