Crossword Genius

Lift gets more money (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

raise

This clue is a double definition.

'lift' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'more money' is the second definition.
(as in an increase in wages at work)

'gets' is the link.

(Other definitions for raise that I've seen before include "To promote" , "Collect - increase in pay" , "What a poker player might do" , "jack up" , "More money from America" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
