Crossword Genius

Let alone, getting some time off (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

leave

I believe this is a double definition.

'let alone' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'some time off' is the second definition.
(leave is a kind of time off)

'getting' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for leave that I've seen before include "Depart, go" , "Depart - on authorised holidays?" , "Time off; go" , "Depart - on office holidays?" , "Permission - time off" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
