Subject: Missouri Sample Letter for Denial of Overtime Request Dear [Employee's Name], We hope this letter finds you well. We regret to inform you that your request for overtime has been denied based on the guidelines set forth by the Missouri labor laws. We understand that you may have had valid reasons for seeking overtime compensation; however, after a thorough review, we have determined that your situation does not meet the criteria necessary for approving overtime. Missouri labor laws dictate that overtime is only eligible for non-exempt employees who work beyond 40 hours in a given workweek. However, under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLEA) regulations, certain employees may be exempt from receiving overtime pay based on their job classification and salary basis. As per our records, your current job classification falls under [specify classification], and therefore, you are exempt from receiving overtime pay. This classification is determined not only by your job title but also by specific job duties and salary requirements outlined by both federal and state regulations. We understand that working additional hours may sometimes be necessary to meet project deadlines or handle urgent tasks. However, it remains the responsibility of the company to ensure compliance with labor laws and salary regulations. Therefore, we must adhere to the legal requirements, and unfortunately, we cannot authorize overtime compensation for your current role. We encourage you to discuss with your immediate supervisor, HR department, or consult the Missouri labor laws to obtain a clear understanding of the exemptions relevant to your job classification. Additionally, if you believe there has been a misclassification of your role, kindly bring this matter to the attention of HR for further evaluation. Please know that we value your dedication, commitment, and contribution to the company. We are committed to providing a supportive work environment and ensuring compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. While we must adhere to the overtime regulations, we look forward to working together to find alternative solutions to manage workload effectively within regular working hours. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in this matter. Feel free to reach out to your supervisor or the HR department should you have any further questions or concerns. We are here to assist and support you.
