Put on the payroll (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hire

'put on the payroll' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for hire that I've seen before include "Rent, employ" , "Rent or lease" , "Employ (for wages)" , "Payment for use" , "Charter, employ" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today, The Mirror, The New York Times and the LA Times.
