How much the daily gets is halved (6)
I believe the answer is:
charge
'how much' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'daily gets is halved' is the wordplay.
'daily' becomes 'char' (both can mean a cleaner).
'is halved' means to take half the letters.
'gets' cut in half is 'ge'.
'char'+'ge'='CHARGE'
'the' is the link.
(Other definitions for charge that I've seen before include "Formally accuse; rush" , "Accusation (in court)" , "Ask for" , "Formal accusation" , "Deliver an official injunction" .)
