Am employed and diverted (6)
I believe the answer is:
amused
'diverted' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'am employed' is the wordplay.
'employed' becomes 'used' ('use' can be a synonym of 'employ').
'am'+'used'='AMUSED'
'and' is the link.
(Other definitions for amused that I've seen before include "Delighted" , "Mildly entertained by Medusa" , "Kept someone entertained" , "Tickled pink" , "Queen Victoria wasn't!" .)
