Yes. With the first he still hasn't been paid; with the second, he could have been paid by now.

I don't see how I can. Which words do you not understand?

First sentence means he still can get paid.
Second means he missed that chance ,right?

Not necessarily.

With the first, he hasn't been paid yet.
With the second, it is possible that he has been paid. It is possible that he has not been paid. We don't know.
