Pay, earnings (6)
I believe the answer is:
salary
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'pay' is the first definition.
(I know that pay can be written as salary)
'earnings' is the second definition.

(Other definitions for salary that I've seen before include "Employee's remuneration" , "Regular income from employment" , "Remuneration for Ray and Sal" , "Regular monthly wage" , "Monthly pay" .)
