Subject: Denial of Overtime Request — Employee Name Dear [Employee Name], I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to inform you that your recent request for overtime has been denied for the following reasons: 1. Availability of Resources: Due to the current workload and resource allocation within the company, it is not feasible to approve overtime at this time. We are committed to maintaining a balanced workload for all employees to ensure productivity and efficiency. 2. Budget Constraints: In order to align with our financial goals and objectives, we must carefully manage our labor costs. Approving overtime in this instance would exceed budgetary limitations and negatively impact our overall financial stability. 3. Prioritization of Work: Our team must prioritize tasks and assignments based on their urgency, impact on company goals, and customer requirements. Unfortunately, your request for overtime does not align with the current priorities and needs of our organization. Please understand that this decision is not a reflection of your performance or dedication to your job. It is solely based on the factors mentioned above and our commitment to the company's success. We encourage you to explore alternative solutions to manage your workload efficiently, such as delegation, time management strategies, or seeking assistance from your colleagues during regular working hours. Our goal is to maintain a healthy work-life balance for all employees while ensuring the smooth operation of our business. If you have any concerns or would like to discuss this matter further, please do not hesitate to reach out to your immediate supervisor or the Human Resources department. We are always ready to address any questions or provide guidance to support you in your professional journey. Thank you for your understanding and ongoing dedication to your role.
