overtime

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

'getting extra work' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'again a while after' is the wordplay.
'again' becomes 'over' (as in the phrases 'start over' and 'start again').
'a while' becomes 'time' (I've seen this before).
'after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'over'+'time'='OVERTIME'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for overtime that I've seen before include "Hours worked and paid for beyond the usual amount" , "Extra hours worked" , "opportunity for supplementing income" , "Extra hours (at work)" , "Work outside normal hours" .)
