Gradually get more work (8)
I believe the answer is:
overtime
'gradually' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'more work' is the wordplay.
'more' becomes 'over' (I've seen this before).
'work' becomes 'time' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'over'+'time'='OVERTIME'
'get' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for overtime that I've seen before include "Work in excess of fixed period" , "Hours worked in excess of usual" , "Extra hours (at work)" , "Work outside normal hours" , "Hours worked and paid for beyond the usual amount" .)
