Considering how much the FIA rakes out of the GPs around the world, they seem to put precious little back into it as far as us marshals are concerned. Certainly testing day marshals should be paid for at the going rate. When I did track days marshalling for a commercial operation, including the Kit car club, I got £75 cash for the day ( as an instrucot i got a lot more but that's a different matter). Race marshalling is my hobby though, but I would say we should receive a better contribution to expenses than we currently get, and I too have heard the stories about how much the MSA get per marshal, from £75 to £100 per marshall, so for us to get only £15 of it........... where does the rest go?
