Sample Request Letter to Boss/HR for Night Shift Allowance

Many companies pay additional allowance to their employees who work during nights at the office. Such an allowance is called a night shift allowance.

If your company has informed you during your joining time that you will be paid a night shift allowance, then you should ask them to pay it in case they do not pay it along with your salary or otherwise. Generally, the condition on night shift allowance is also mentioned in the appointment letter or offer letter given to the employee.

Here is an example on how to write an application letter to the concerned officer in your office requesting him to approve your night shift allowance.
