Female employee must be expecting to get this (9,5)
I believe the answer is:
maternity leave
'female employee must be expecting' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'get this' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'get' could be 'leave' (leaving is a kind of getting) and 'leave' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'maternity' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for maternity leave that I've seen is " temporary office absence".)
