Bishop gets responsibility for more money (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bonus

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

'more money' is the definition.
'bonus' can be an answer for 'money' (I have seen 'extra money' mean 'bonus' so perhaps 'money' could also mean 'bonus'). I am not sure about the 'more' bit.

'bishop gets responsibility' is the wordplay.
'bishop' becomes 'B' (chess abbreviation).
'gets' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'responsibility' becomes 'onus' (onus is a duty or responsibility).
'b'+'onus'='BONUS'

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bonus that I've seen before include "Perk" , "Something more than you expected" , "Money on top of wages or salary" , "Extra payout" , "Extra payment, may be performance-related" .)
