Subject: Dispute Regarding Hours Worked in the District of Columbia Dear [Boss's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address a concern regarding the amount of hours worked that I believe requires clarification and resolution. As an employee based in the District of Columbia, it is crucial to ensure accurate calculation and adherence to labor laws in this jurisdiction. Firstly, I want to express my commitment to my work and the success of our team. However, after reviewing my recent pay stubs and comparing them to my personal record, I have noticed a discrepancy in the recorded hours worked. My records consistently show that I have worked more hours compared to what is reflected in the official records. The District of Columbia has specific employment laws, such as the D.C. Minimum Wage Act and the D.C. Family and Medical Leave Act, which protect the rights of employees, including fair compensation for actual hours worked. Additionally, the U.S. Department of Labor has established guidelines under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLEA) that employers must follow to ensure accurate timekeeping and payment practices. Considering these legal obligations, I would appreciate your assistance in investigating and rectifying this issue. Enclosed with this letter, you will find a detailed log documenting the dates, hours worked, tasks performed, and any additional information pertinent to my job responsibilities for the disputed period. I kindly request that you review these records and compare them to the official documentation to confirm the discrepancy. I believe it is in the best interest of both parties to address this matter promptly and resolve it amicably. To expedite the process, I suggest scheduling a meeting at your earliest convenience to discuss the discrepancy and reach a mutually agreeable solution. During this meeting, we can review the evidence I have provided and any further documentation you require to facilitate a thorough investigation. In this regard, I kindly request that you provide any additional information, such as time and attendance records or any documented changes made to my working hours during the disputed period. This will help us establish a complete and accurate understanding of the situation to resolve it appropriately. I value the open communication and collaborative environment we have fostered within our team, and it is my sincere belief that this matter can be addressed promptly and fairly. I trust in your commitment to our team's well-being and your dedication as an exemplary leader to ensure that all employees are treated fairly and justly. Thank you for considering my concerns and taking the time to review the enclosed documentation. I remain committed to excellence and upholding the principles that govern our work environment. I look forward to discussing this matter further with you and working together to find a resolution. Should you require any additional information or if there are any questions you may have, please feel free to contact me at [Your Contact Information]. I am available at your convenience to discuss this further. Thank you and regards, [Your Name] [Your Employee ID/Position] [Department/Team]
