Money received by office worker: good, attractive (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tempting

'attractive' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'money received by office worker good' is the wordplay.
'money' becomes 'tin' (old-fashioned slang term for money).
'received by' indicates putting letters inside.
'office worker' becomes 'temp' (short for temporary worker).
'good' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'temp'+'g'='tempg'
'tin' inserted inside 'tempg' is 'TEMPTING'.

(Other definitions for tempting that I've seen before include "Enticing to evil" , "Enticing; very attractive" , "Alluring" , "Inviting" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
