Get up for an increase in pay (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

arise

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

'get up' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'an increase in pay' is the wordplay.
'an' becomes 'a'.
'increase in pay' becomes 'rise' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'a'+'rise'='ARISE'

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for arise that I've seen before include "Originate; get up" , "Tower" , "Occur; stand up" , "Emerge" , "W B Yeats: 'I will . . . . . and go now'" .)
