Sample letter of thanks for working overtime

32 Views

Employees who work additional hours to finish a project or assignment for you deserve to be recognized for their efforts. For their extra efforts, a note of appreciation would be much appreciated.

There are three primary points to add in a thank you note or email for working overtime:




  1. A thank you for going the extra mile and putting in extra hours.
  2. Exact mention of the overtime-required project
  3. Anything that might be of use to the worker. Time off, incentives, a positive evaluation, the prospect of a promotion, or more responsibilities all be among the possible rewards for going above and beyond the call of duty.
