Information about elderly worker with tremor getting redundancy payment (6,9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

golden handshake

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

'redundancy payment' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'information about elderly worker with tremor' is the wordplay.
'information' becomes 'gen' (gen can informally mean information).
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'elderly' becomes 'old' (similar in meaning).
'worker with' becomes 'hand' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'tremor' becomes 'shake'.
'gen' going around 'old' is 'golden'.
'golden'+'hand'+'shake'='GOLDEN HANDSHAKE'

'getting' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for golden handshake that I've seen before include "Parting gesture" , "severance pay" , "Improved P45" , "Payoff" , "this may be hoped for on retirement!" .)
