Subject: Denial of Overtime Request — Wyoming Employee Dear [Employee's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. After careful consideration, we regret to inform you that your recent request for overtime has been denied. We understand that additional hours can be beneficial both for you and the company; however, there are certain factors that have led to our decision. Firstly, it is important to mention that Wyoming state regulations regarding overtime pay are strict and need to be adhered to. According to the Wyoming Department of Workforce Services, overtime is defined as any hours worked over 40 per workweek, and employees are entitled to receive pay at a rate of 1.5 times their regular pay for every overtime hour worked. Our decision to deny your overtime request is based on the following reasons: 1. Staffing Availability: Due to the current workload and scheduling constraints, allocating additional overtime hours to employees is not feasible at the moment. Balancing employee workload and maintaining productivity levels across the department is crucial to ensure efficient operations. 2. Cost Consideration: While we recognize the value of your efforts and commitment to the company, granting overtime request can significantly impact our budget. It is imperative to manage labor costs effectively without jeopardizing other financial priorities of the organization. 3. Workplace Fairness: In order to maintain fairness and equality among employees, we must ensure that overtime opportunities are distributed fairly and aligned with the needs of the company as a whole. In this instance, we had to make a decision based on the overall operational requirements. Please note that though your overtime request has been denied at this time, it does not reflect any dissatisfaction with your performance or dedication towards your duties. We highly value your contributions and encourage you to continue to excel in your assigned tasks during regular working hours. Should any future opportunities for overtime arise, we will keep your request in mind and consider it accordingly. We encourage you to communicate with your immediate supervisor or the HR department if you have any concerns or need further clarification regarding overtime policies. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in this matter. We appreciate your outstanding commitment to your work and look forward to continued success.
