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

    Explanation:

    The Fair Labor standards Act of 1938 is US labour law that deals with the right to minimum wage and overtime pay if people work for over 40 hours in a weeks. It also prohibits organisations from employing the minors. The law is applicable to the employees that are employed by enterprises active in commerce of production.

    FLSA was written by senator Hugo Black in 1932 but his proposal could not met with resistance in 1937. A revised version of his proposal was passed in 1938 that accepted forty hour workweek and the labours could earn wages for overtime. According to its provisions the workers would be paid minimum wage and the overtime pay should be one and a half times the regular pay.

    Franklin D Roosevelt considered this act as one of the most important pieces of New Legislation.
