> 報酬 **分** は働かせてもらうよ。もちろん追加をもらえりゃあ、その **分** よく働くってもんさ。

The first sentence is ambiguous to me. Is the second sentence actually an
explanation of the first sentence here, i.e. "let me work the amount
appropriate to the amount that you pay me" and that the first 分 and the second
分 are being used in the same manner here?

There is a later passage with a similarly ambiguous statement:

> 出撃の時はあたしに任せな。報酬 **分** はきっちり働くよ。こう見えて、雇い主を満足させる女なのさ。

Thanks for any help.

meaning ambiguity
How to interpret 分 in the following passage
The first 分 is described below.  
It is attached after nouns and expresses the idea of equivalence, or
correspondence. Examples:  
増加分: An amount equivalent to the increase.  
苦労分: An amount equivalent to the the effort.  
五日分: An amount equivalent to 5 days.  

他の名詞につけて用いる。  
㋐それに相当するもの、それに見合うものの意を表す。

The second 分 is described below.  
[https://dictionary.goo.ne.jp/word/en/其の分/#je-44193](https://dictionary.goo.ne.jp/word/en/%E5%85%B6%E3%81%AE%E5%88%86/#je-44193)  
It is used as an expression "その分" and means "to the same amount", "to the same
rate", "to the same proportion".

So the translation becomes:

報酬分は働かせてもらうよ。  
You have to work as hard as the amount of your salary  
もちろん追加をもらえりゃあ、  
of course I will pay you more for extra work  
その分よく働くってもんさ。  
But in exchange you have to work as hard as I am paying you.

answer
Both instances of 分 are essentially the same, it's a noun/suffix meaning
"amount that corresponds to ～", "～'s fraction", "～'s worth (of something)".

  * 報酬分: (amount of) work that corresponds to my reward; work worth my reward
  * その分: (amount of) work that corresponds to 追加 (additional reward); according to the extra payment

This person is basically saying the more she is paid, the more earnestly she
will work.
