Sample Letter for Denial of Overtime [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Recipient's Name] [Recipient's Job Title] [Company Name] [Company Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Subject: Denial of Overtime Request Dear [Recipient's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to formally request the denial of my recent overtime hours submission. After careful consideration and review, I have come to the conclusion that overtime compensation is not warranted for the following reasons: 1. Company Policy: As outlined in the employee handbook and employment agreement, overtime is only approved in exceptional circumstances and upon prior authorization from senior management. Unfortunately, my recent overtime did not meet the criteria for such an approval. 2. Project Scope: The project for which the overtime was requested was originally anticipated to be completed within regular working hours. However, unforeseen circumstances arose which led to an extended timeframe for completion. Although I understand the urgency of completing the project, I acknowledge that the delay was not caused by factors beyond my control and thus, overtime does not apply. 3. Resource Allocation: Considering the availability of resources within the department, it has been determined that redistributing tasks among team members will ensure the project's completion within regular working hours. This adjustment will ensure that the workload is more evenly distributed without requiring additional compensation for overtime. 4. Budget Constraints: As you are aware, our company is currently facing budget constraints in light of recent economic challenges. Approving overtime for this project would be an unnecessary expense that could be better allocated for other pressing business needs. I understand the importance of managing time and workload effectively to ensure optimum productivity and meet company goals. Therefore, moving forward, I am committed to reevaluating the strategies for project planning and resource allocation to prevent similar situations in the future. I appreciate your understanding and consideration of my request, and I apologize for any inconvenience caused by my initial overtime submission. Should you require any further information or wish to discuss this matter in person, please do not hesitate to reach out to me directly. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely, [Your Name]
