'do they' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'workers under them pay?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'workers' could be 'hands' (hand is a kind of worker) and 'hands' is found in the answer.
'pay?' could be 'charge' (charging is a kind of paying) and 'charge' is located in the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'make' is the link.
