Fussy functionary (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

jobsworth

'fussy functionary' is the definition.
(both can mean an officious worker)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for jobsworth that I've seen before include "A stickler for rules" , "Official who upholds petty rules" , "Petty rules upholder" , "Petty bureaucrat" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times and The Times.
