Worked / have worked

Hello !

Can you help me ?

My sentence is: THEY have worked / worked A LOT THIS WEEK.

Whish tense is correct or I can use both ?

Thanks !

Both tenses are correct, which one you choose depends on the rest of the context. They worked a lot this week - general statement. They have worked a lot this week, so they are tired/have plenty of wages/so we don't have as much to do.
