Sample Letter for Denial of Overtime [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Recipient's Name] [Recipient's Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Subject: Denial of Overtime for [Employee's Name] Dear [Recipient's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to discuss the matter of overtime requested by [Employee's Name], and regretfully inform you that we are unable to approve their request for overtime pay for the following reasons: 1. Insufficient Justification: Upon reviewing the circumstances of the request, it has come to our attention that there is insufficient justification to grant [Employee's Name] overtime pay. While we understand that certain situations may warrant additional compensation, it is crucial to ensure that overtime is only authorized when there is a genuine necessity stemming from work-related responsibilities. 2. Prior to Notice and Planning: Our company policy encourages employees to provide advance notice regarding any possible need for overtime before initiating work beyond their regular working hours. In this particular case, [Employee's Name] failed to provide the necessary notice to consider the overtime request, making it difficult for us to accommodate their request. 3. Departmental Budgetary Constraints: Due to ongoing economic challenges and budget constraints within our department, we have been advised to strictly adhere to overtime regulations and allocate available resources efficiently. Unfortunately, granting overtime to [Employee's Name] would exceed the allocated budget, compromising our ability to effectively manage our financial obligations and resulting in possible consequences for other essential areas within the department. 4. Alternate Solutions: Before considering overtime, we explored potential alternatives that could address the additional workload or project demands. We encourage [Employee's Name] to consider alternative solutions such as adjusting their work schedule, redistributing workload among the existing team, or seeking assistance from colleagues. By doing so, we can maintain our commitment to effective resource utilization while ensuring a healthy work-life balance for our employees. We understand the importance of a fair and transparent approach to employee compensation, and we truly regret any inconvenience caused by this decision. It is our responsibility to handle overtime requests diligently, considering the best interests of both the employee and the organization as a whole. Should [Employee's Name] believe that there are extenuating circumstances or additional information that was not taken into account during the evaluation process, we encourage them to schedule a meeting with their immediate supervisor or the Human Resources department, where further discussion can take place. Thank you for your understanding in this matter. We remain committed to providing a supportive and fair work environment for all our employees. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or require further clarification regarding this decision. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Title (if applicable)] [Company Name]
