Crossword Genius

Worker may be bananas (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hand

This clue is a double definition.

'worker' is the first definition.
(hand is a kind of worker)

'be bananas' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

'may' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for hand that I've seen before include "Hired worker" , "Unit of equine measurement" , "Cards dealt to player" , "Script" , "Pointer; workman" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
