We appreciate your dedication and commitment to your role here at Kings New York, and we value the hard work you consistently contribute towards our collective success. However, after careful consideration and review of your recent request for overtime compensation, we regret to inform you that your request has been denied. We kindly request your understanding regarding this decision, as we are bound by legal obligations outlined in the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLEA). The FLEA establishes various provisions regarding overtime pay, which we must adhere to in order to maintain compliance. As a non-exempt employee, you are entitled to overtime payment, but only for hours worked exceeding 40 hours in a workweek. While we acknowledge the additional time and effort you dedicated, we must adhere to our overtime policy, which states that overtime hours must be authorized in advance by your supervisor. Unfortunately, in this particular instance, your request for overtime was not pre-approved as required by our policy. It is crucial for us at Kings New York to maintain fair and consistent practices throughout the organization, ensuring that all employees are treated fairly and in line with applicable laws. We understand that you may have had genuine reasons for working those additional hours. However, it is important for us to avoid any potential legal consequences and maintain a transparent and uniform approach towards overtime compensation. Moving forward, we kindly request you to cooperate with us in adhering to our overtime policy. Any future requests for overtime must be communicated in advance and must receive proper authorization from your supervisor. We appreciate your professionalism and understanding in this matter. Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to our HR department. We are committed to creating a supportive and compliant work environment for all our employees. Thank you for your understanding. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Title] Kings New York
