Arrears of work (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

backlog

'arrears of work' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for backlog that I've seen before include "pile needing attention?" , "Arrear of wooden kind?" , "Build-up of work still to be dealt with" , "Accumulation (of work) to be dealt with" , "Go black with arrears of work" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Simplex), The Guardian, the Evening Standard and The Mirror.
