Subject: Michigan Sample Letter for Disputing Work Hours to My Esteemed Boss Dear [Boss's Name], I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to discuss and resolve a matter regarding the calculated amount of hours that I have worked as recorded in our timekeeping system. After carefully reviewing my recent pay stubs and comparing them with my personal timesheets, I believe there may be a discrepancy in the hours recorded. As an employee, it is my responsibility to accurately monitor and report the hours I spend at work. I pride myself on maintaining meticulous records of my time worked, making note of any overtime, breaks, and other relevant activities. Despite my utmost efforts to ensure accuracy, I have discovered inconsistencies between my own records and those reflected in the company's records. I kindly request your assistance in rectifying this matter promptly, as it directly affects my compensation and overall job satisfaction. To facilitate a resolution, I have prepared a detailed summary of the specific instances where I believe the discrepancy occurs: 1. [Example: Date and Time] — On this day, I worked an additional two hours beyond my regular shift. However, the system only logged my regular hours without considering the overtime worked. 2. [Example: Date and Time] — On this particular day, I took a shorter lunch break of 30 minutes instead of the usual hour. Regrettably, the system recorded the full hour, leading to an extra half-hour being deducted from my total hours worked. 3. [Example: Date and Time] — It seems that my off-the-clock work, such as responding to emails or completing urgent tasks before or after my scheduled shift, is not accounted for. This extra effort should be acknowledged and counted towards my overall work hours. These are only a few examples, but similar discrepancies can be found in several other instances. I kindly request your support in rectifying these inaccuracies and ensuring that all my hours worked are accurately reflected in the company records. According to Michigan labor laws, employers are required to keep precise records of their employees' work hours. If necessary, I would like to discuss this issue in further detail with you and consider if it would be beneficial to involve the Human Resources department to find a fair resolution for both parties. Please let me know, in writing or by scheduling a meeting, how you would like to proceed in addressing this matter. I appreciate your attention to this concern, and I am confident that we can resolve it promptly and amicably. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Employee ID/Number] [Your Contact Information: Phone number and Email Address]
