Help for the worker given the push (4-3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hand-out

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

'the push' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'help for the worker' is the wordplay.
'help' becomes 'hand' (hand is a kind of help).
'for' says to put letters next to each other.
'the worker' becomes 'out' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'hand'+'out'='HAND-OUT'

'given' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hand-out that I've seen before include "Something distributed free of charge, or notes given in class" , "Distribute - information to the press" , "Notes givne in class - with outstretched palm" , "Something given free of charge, maybe a leaflet" , "Freely given aid" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
