EDMUND A. SARGUS, JR. UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
The matter is before the Court on the parties' Amended Joint Motion to conditionally certify Plaintiff Kendall Olin-Marquez' proposed Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”) collective (the “Joint Motion”). (ECF No. 66.) Attached to the Joint Motion are the parties' proposed notice and consents forms. (Ex. B, ECF No. 66-2; Ex. C, ECF No. 66-3.)
Also pending before the Court are Defendant's Motion to Dismiss for Lack of Personal Jurisdiction and Motion to Transfer Venue, (ECF Nos. 49, 50), which Defendant has not “waive[d]” by stipulating to conditional certification (ECF No. 66 at ¶ 9). Those motions will be addressed in a separate, forthcoming order.
For good cause shown, the parties' Joint Motion is GRANTED. Accordingly, pursuant to § 216(b) of the FLSA, the Court CONDITIONALLY CERTIFIES the following class set forth therein:
All current and former hourly, non-exempt employees at any Arrow senior living community in Ohio who (1) were paid for forty (40) or more work hours in any workweek they were required to have a meal break deduction taken from their compensable hours worked and/or (2) were paid for more than forty (40) hours work hours in any workweek that they received nondiscretionary bonus payments, such as a retention bonus (often called a “Sign On Bonus”) or a shift pick-up bonus, for working extra shifts or hours beyond what the employee was scheduled to work from June 7, 2018 to the present.
(
Id. at ¶ 2.)
Additionally, the Court:
1. APPROVES the parties' proposed notice and consent forms. (Ex. B, ECF No. 66-2; Ex. C, ECF No. 66-3.)
2. APPROVES the parties' limited opt-in discovery plan and ORDERS Defendant Arrow Senior Living Management, LLC to comply with the terms set forth therein. (ECF No. 66 at ¶ 5.)
3. APPOINTS Plaintiff Kendall Olin-Marquez as the Representative Plaintiff of her putative FLSA collective.
4. APPOINTS Matthew J.P. Coffman of Coffman Legal, LLC and Shannon M. Draher of Nilges Draher LLC as Lead Counsel for Plaintiff's putative FLSA collective.
This case is to remain open on the docket of this Court.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
