Answer 1

Option A Entitled not only to be paid for the additional time, but also to be paid overtime if she works more than forty hours in a week.

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason is that by law any person who works more than 40 hours a week is entitled to basic rate plus the overtime which must be paid to the employee. So in this case Asley is entitled to these benefits and must be paid otherwise she can sue her boss for this act.
