Works for a model employer? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

poses

'works for a model employer?' is the definition.
(as in to pose for someone who has employed models)

'works for a model' is the wordplay.
'works' becomes 's' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'for' says to put letters next to each other (I've seen this in other clues).
'a model' becomes 'pose' (I've seen this before).
's' put after 'pose' is 'POSES'.

(Other definitions for poses that I've seen before include "is ready for photo" , "Sits (for artists)" , "presents" , "Strikes attitude, maybe for photo" , "Strikes attidude for artist" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
