Could you please tell me how to properly say these?

Which of these are possible and how would you naturally say this?

1 The employee shall be entitled to a salary of $66,000 yearly and any expenses incurred by the employee in connection to his duties./in relation to his duties/relative to his duties.

2 Are you asking to be/get upgraded?
3 If you close the door, it'll slow down the flow of people coming in. Some would think the store was closed.
4 Look (in) the right places.
5 I couldn't find linen that fit the baby cot.

Thank you

1. The use of 'shall' is formal (and appropriate here) - I think I'd say 'connected to his duties'. 2.
