Remove it somehow to get extra pay (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

overtime

'extra pay' is the definition.
(pay for work outside normal working hours)

'remove it somehow' is the wordplay.
'somehow' indicates anagramming the letters.
'remove'+'it'='removeit'
'removeit' is an anagram of 'OVERTIME'.

'to get' is the link.

(Other definitions for overtime that I've seen before include "Work in excess of fixed period" , "Extra hours (at work)" , "Pay for extra work" , "Work outside normal hours" , "opportunity for supplementing income" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express and The Telegraph.
