Work and other things arising to be behind schedule (3,4)

I believe the answer is:

run late

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'schedule' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'work and other things arising to be behind' is the wordplay.
'work' becomes 'run' (both can mean to operate something).
'and other things' becomes 'etal' (I've seen this before).
'arising' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'to be behind' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'etal' written backwards gives 'late'.
'run'+'late'='RUN LATE'
