Rewarding in the monetary sense as well as in the satisfying sense...

Generous - yes, rewarding - meh, depending on the context. Remuneration is OK, satisfaction is so-so. Sentences are often awkwardly/weirdly worded, lots of abbreviations with obscure meaning and names of departments/positions/internal procedures without any clear reference.
