Fleece party over allowance payment (13)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

consideration

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'payment' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'fleece party over allowance' is the wordplay.
'fleece' becomes 'con' (I've seen this before).
'party' becomes 'side' (eg a side or party in a contract).
'over allowance' becomes 'ration' (I've seen this before. I am not sure about the 'over' bit.).
'con'+'side'+'ration'='CONSIDERATION'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for consideration that I've seen before include "examination" , "Study" , "Kindness" , "Reward; careful thought" , "Bearing in mind - payment" .)
