As you are aware, our organization believes in promoting a healthy work-life balance for all employees while adhering to regulatory compliance. After careful consideration and review of your work records, time cards, and the present workload, we regret to inform you that we are unable to approve your request for overtime compensation for the following reasons: 1. Insufficient Justification: The requested overtime did not appear to have a strong basis or essential justification that would warrant additional compensation. We need to ensure that all overtime requests are essential to maintain productivity and meet project deadlines. 2. Budget Constraints: Due to recent financial circumstances and budgetary restrictions, the company has implemented a policy of minimizing overtime expenses. Our aim is to optimize resources and streamline operations without compromising the quality and efficiency of our services. 3. Staffing Considerations: Evaluating the current workload and existing staffing levels, we have determined that redistributing tasks among the team is a more viable option in the given circumstances rather than granting overtime hours. This approach helps to maintain fairness and equitably distribute the workload among all employees. We understand your dedication and commitment to your role and appreciate your willingness to contribute additional effort. However, please be assured that our decision is based on careful assessment and consideration of the factors mentioned above. In light of our decision, we encourage you to explore alternate means of achieving your goals within the set working hours.
