Worker, dismissed, gets some charity (7)
I believe the answer is:
handout
'some charity' is the definition.
(handout is a kind of charity)
'worker dismissed' is the wordplay.
'worker' becomes 'hand' (hand is a kind of worker**).
'dismissed' becomes 'out' (I've seen this before).
'hand'+'out'='HANDOUT'
'gets' is the link.
(Other definitions for handout that I've seen before include "Donation" , "Publicity" , "charity" , "dole?" , "financial support" .)
