One who studies for each employer (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

peruser

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

'one who studies' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'each employer' is the wordplay.
'each' becomes 'per' ('per' can mean for each).
'employer' becomes 'user' (someone who employs or uses something).
'per'+'user'='PERUSER'

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for peruser that I've seen before include "Rep rues meeting a reader" , "One studying" , "Scanner" , "One examining" , "one reads" .)

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