The answer

As long as the work is permissible, the wage is lawful. The institution's borrowing with usury to pay salaries does not affect this; the sin falls upon those in charge of the institution, for the Prophet ﷺ said: "There will come a time upon the people when no one will remain but will consume usury. If he does not consume it, he will be afflicted by its dust."
