Dear [Manager Name],

I am writing to document my position regarding the mandatory overtime scheduled for [date(s)].

Thank you for understanding.

While there’s no single “magic file” you can download to instantly escape overtime, here are you can download or copy right now: 1. Free "Overtime Refusal" Email/Letter Template Copy and paste this into a document or email. Customize it based on your local labor laws (see section 2).
