Paid in return for labour (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

earned

(Other definitions for earned that I've seen before include "Merited; made" , "Received as a salary, right etc." , "Merited through behavior" , "well deserved" , "Acquired through work or effort" .)

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