If payment occurs, it may be in one or more of the following forms:
* The payment does not exceed [[subsistence]] or barely exceeds it;
* The payment is in goods which are not desirable and/or cannot be exchanged or are difficult to exchange; or
* The payment wholly or mostly consists of cancellation of a debt or liability that was itself coerced, or belongs to someone else.

Unfree labour is often more easily instituted and enforced on migrant workers, who have travelled far from their homelands and who are easily identified because of their physical, ethnic, linguistic, or cultural differences from the general population, since they are unable or unlikely to report their conditions to the authorities.<ref name="sea slavery in Thailand and how people become roped into the system">{{cite web|title=Thailand: Sea Slavery {{!}} #TheOutlawOceanProject |first1=Ian |last1=Urbina |first2=Fábio |last2=Nascimento |date=6 March 2019 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ImT83iJPtk|website=Youtube |access-date=26 October 2020}}</ref>
