Lure office worker to the front (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tempt

'lure' is the definition.
(I know that lure can be written as tempt)

'office worker to the front' is the wordplay.
'office worker' becomes 'temp' (temporary worker in an office).
'front' says to take the initial letters.
The initial letter of 'the' is 't'.
'temp'+'t'='TEMPT'

(Other definitions for tempt that I've seen before include "Entice (to sin)" , "Try to persuade to do wrong" , "Entice, lure" , "Whet the appetite" , "Entice; risk provoking (fate)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
