Reward any temp might work for? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

payment

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

'reward' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'any temp might work for?' is the wordplay.
'any temp' anagrams to 'PAYMENT'.
Though, I am not sure how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for payment that I've seen before include "Purchase price" , "Sum of money handed over" , "Punishment" , "Discharge of an obligation with money" , "Sum given for something" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
