1) [line 3] SHOMER AVEIDAH - one who watches a lost object until the owner comes to claim it. Rabah rules that he has the obligations and liabilities of a Shomer Chinam. Rav Yosef rules that he has the obligations and the liabilities of a Shomer Sachar.

2) [line 4] RAV YOSEF AMAR, K'SHOMER SACHAR (OSEK B'MITZVAH: PERUTAH D'RAV YOSEF)
The Gemara (Sukah 25a) brings the verse "b'Shivtecha b'Veisecha" (Devarim 6:7) to prove that one is not required to do a Mitzvah while he is occupied with another Mitzvah. As a result, Rav Yosef rules that when one is busy guarding an Aveidah (a lost item that one found), should a pauper come to his door he will not be obligated to give him Tzedakah. This penny saved is a penny earned and therefore it is enough to consider the Shomer Aveidah a Shomer Sachar (a paid watchman) for he is being "paid" the Perutah that he need not give to the pauper. Even if the situation does not arise, he is considered a paid watchman, since the "job" carries with it the possibility of a financial gain.
