How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

holding that whether plaintiffs’ off- the-clock work was compensable, defendants knew about the work, and the work was de minimis could be adequately raised at trial on representative testimony
holding that employees were similarly situated when they held the same job title, worked under the same job description, and worked within a uniform supervision hierarchy — even when employees worked in different stores under different supervisors
finding that the plaintiffs had proven they were similarly situated “despite the fact that Starbucks had an official ‘time worked is time paid’ policy”
denying decertification for Starbucks assistant managers whose only written records inaccurately stated that they had worked only 40 per week
rejecting argument that differing job duties and motivations for working overtime defeated a similarly situated finding where all employees alleged that they were not compensated for overtime hours worked
finding no dispute that “all of the opt-ins held the same job title and worked under the exact same job description and supervision hierarchy”
