Crossword Genius

Drawer returned for remuneration (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reward

'remuneration' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'drawer returned' is the wordplay.
'returned' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'drawer' back-to-front is 'REWARD'.

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for reward that I've seen before include "Money offered for services" , "Desert" , "Gift given to show appreciation of a good deed" , "It's given to reinforce good behaviour" , "Wage" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror and The Daily Express.
