Not skating in workplace (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

office

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

'workplace' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'not skating' is the wordplay.
'not' becomes 'off' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'skating' becomes 'ice skating' (ice skating is a kind of skating).
'off'+'ice'='OFFICE'

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for office that I've seen before include "Where many of us work" , "Workplace for clerks" , "Firm" , "Business room - position of responsibility or duty" , "Workroom" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
