Crossword Genius

He's right to take Monday off (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

raymond

'he's' is the definition.

'right to take monday off' is the wordplay.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'to take' says to put letters next to each other.
'off' is an anagram indicator.
'monday' is an anagram of 'aymond'.
'r'+'aymond'='RAYMOND'

(Another definition for raymond that I've seen is " Name of fellow".)

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