Crossword Genius

Determined to be paid (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

settled

This clue is a double definition.

'determined' is the first definition.
('settle' can be a synonym of 'determine')

'be paid' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for settled that I've seen before include "Took up residence" , "no longer an issue" , "Came down; resolved" , "Put down roots; decided" , "Colonised; decided" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
