Entice short-term worker with contract finally (5)
I believe the answer is:
tempt
'entice' is the definition.
('tempt' can be a synonym of 'entice')
'short-term worker with contract finally' is the wordplay.
'short-term worker' becomes 'temp' (I've seen this before**).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'finally' suggests the final letters.
The last letter of 'contract' is 't'.
'temp'+'t'='TEMPT'
(Other definitions for tempt that I've seen before include "Bait" , "Entice - dare" , "Inveigle" , "Scaly mammal" , "Entice (to sin)" .)
