Subject: Denial of Overtime Request — [Your Name] [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Supervisor's Name] [Supervisor's Position] [Company Name] [Company Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Dear [Supervisor's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my disappointment regarding the denial of my recently submitted request for overtime hours at [Company Name]. As an employee committed to delivering exceptional results for the company, I believe that my request deserved utmost consideration. I would like to clarify that the additional hours I requested were solely intended to fulfill an urgent project deadline and ensure its successful completion. Considering our department's workload and my dedication towards maintaining high-quality standards, I firmly believed that working overtime was necessary for achieving the desired outcomes. In light of this, I feel that the denial of my overtime request was unwarranted and contradictory to the company's goals. Permitting me to work overtime would not only have showcased my dedication and commitment but also demonstrated the company's support for meeting project objectives. Furthermore, it is worth mentioning that overtime compensation plays a crucial role in motivating employees to invest additional efforts. By denying this compensation, it inadvertently demotivates me and could potentially affect my overall performance and morale. I understand that the company may have several considerations when declining an overtime request. However, I kindly request you to reassess my request and take into account the following points: 1. Urgency of the project: The project's deadline is rapidly approaching, and without additional hours, there is a high risk of jeopardizing its timely completion. 2. Available resources: Given our team's current workload, it is evident that additional manpower is required to cope with the mounting tasks. 3. Cost-benefit analysis: Although overtime compensation incurs additional costs, it should be evaluated against the potential financial losses or reputational damage that may occur if the project is not delivered on time. I believe that granting my request for overtime would be mutually beneficial for both the company and me. It showcases the dedication and agility of the workforce while ensuring that project goals are met effectively. I kindly request you to reconsider your decision and provide an opportunity for a discussion to further elaborate on the importance of my overtime request. I am more than willing to explore alternative solutions and work collaboratively to find a middle ground that aligns with the company's objectives. Thank you for your time and consideration. I genuinely hope that we can find a resolution that is favorable for all parties involved. Sincerely, [Your Name]
