[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Employer's Name] [Company Name] [Company Address] [City, State, ZIP] Subject: Denial of Overtime Request Dear [Employer's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to formally request overtime pay for the extra hours I have worked at [Company Name] during the [specific period]. I have meticulously documented my additional time spent on [specific tasks/projects] beyond my regular working hours. Working with utmost dedication and commitment, I have consistently put in extra effort to meet project deadlines and fulfill the objectives set by our team. This includes working overtime on numerous occasions, often working late into the night and sometimes even through weekends. Sadly, I received my recent paycheck only to discover that my overtime hours have not been taken into account. I have cross-checked my timesheets and work records, and it is evident that I have accumulated [number of hours] of overtime. I believe it is essential to highlight that under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLEA), non-exempt employees like myself are entitled to receive overtime compensation for any work performed beyond the standard 40-hour workweek. It is disheartening to learn that these hours have been overlooked or omitted from my compensation. I kindly request you to reconsider my overtime request, taking into account the additional time I have devoted to the success of the company. I firmly believe that my efforts should be duly compensated, as it is not only fair but also helps maintain a motivated and committed workforce. Furthermore, I would like to propose a meeting to discuss this matter further and provide any supporting evidence required. I am confident that we can resolve this issue amicably and reach a fair agreement that aligns with both the company's policies and the legal requirements. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I anticipate a prompt response and look forward to meeting with you to address my concerns. Should you have any questions or require any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me at your earliest convenience. Sincerely, [Your Name]
