Don't take time off (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

leave

This clue is a double definition.

'don't take' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'time off' is the second definition.
(leave is a kind of time off)

(Other definitions for leave that I've seen before include "Desert" , "Permission to go; allow to remain" , "Renounce" , "Permission - depart" , "Withdraw - permission - to go - holiday" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
