Ignoring service, doesn’t respect note from employer (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

payslip

'note from employer' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'ignoring service doesn't respect' is the wordplay.
'ignoring' is a deletion indicator.
'doesn't respect' becomes 'pays lip service' (to pay lip service is to pretend to give support).
'payslipservice' with 'service' taken out is 'PAYSLIP'.

(Other definitions for payslip that I've seen before include "Detachable form accompanying cheque" , "Record of wages earned" , "Monthly advice for employee" , "note from employer" , "Capital of Italy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
