Five minutes research":
Wiktionary - Underpaid: "Getting too little financial compensation for one's work."
Meriam Webster - Underpay: "to pay less than what is normal or required"
Cambridge Dictionary - underpay: "to pay (a person) too little"
Dictionary.com - underpaid: "not paid enough"
Only the Cambridge version of those could imply (to me) only the definition of receiving less than what was agreed upon.
I personally like the Meriam Webster definition. If a software engineer is normally paid $ X, and you are paying $ 0.5*X, then that person is underpaid.

Meriam Webster - Underpay: "to pay less than what is normal or required" Cambridge Dictionary - underpay: "to pay (a person) too little" Dictionary.com - underpaid: "not paid enough" Exactly. There is nothing in there about agreeing to take less than you might have been able to get if you chose to charge more. > If a software engineer is normally paid $ X, and you are paying $ 0.5X, then that person is underpaid.* The general opinion is that people are not fungible. Why do you believe that they are?
