Vecchio v. Quest Diagnostics Inc. et al Doc. 3201 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK MARIA VECCHIO, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, Plainti , – against – OPINION & ORDER 16 Civ. 5165 (ER) QUEST DIAGNOSTICS INC., EXAMONE WORLD WIDE, INC., and EXAMONE LLC, Defendants. RAMOS, D.J.: Mobile medical examiner Maria Vecchio led her lawsuit in June 2016, alleging that her employer, ExamOne, had failed to pay minimum and overtime wages in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”), 29 U.S.C. §§ 206, 207. Since then, nearly 3000 other mobile examiners have joined her lawsuit as “opt-in plainti s.” After years of discovery, the defendants move to decertify this nation-wide class and for partial summary judgment of Vecchio’s minimum wage claims and the overtime claims of 32 opt-in plainti s. After careful review of the extensive record presented to it, the Court GRANTS the defendants’ motion to decertify and their motions for partial summary judgment. ee Court nds that Vecchio has failed to show the opt-in plainti s are similarly situated to her in any material respect. ee Court further nds that, after discovery, Vecchio’s minimum wage claims and the overtime claims of 32 opt-in plainti s1 must be dismissed as a matter of law. 1 "ese plainti s are Ti any Anderson, Crystal Broady, Macheall Christion-Amador, Terry Clyde, Rut Contreras, Donita Craig, Sandra Davis, Maureen Dickinson, Lisa Dunn, Michelle Dunn, Nancy Fagan, Kendra Whiteside Fantroy, Christine Gee, Edwin Gonzalez, Alexis Harris, Mary Hough, Felisa Knowles, JoAnn Kresko, Sallie Laurel, Brenda Martin, Veronica Morrison, Reshondra Parks, "elma Pichon, Holly Dockets.Justia.com I. BACKGROUND ExamOne LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of ExamOne World Wide, Inc. (in turn a wholly owned subsidiary of Quest Diagnostics Inc.), provides medical examinations of individuals applying for life insurance policies. Rooney Decl. ex. 12 (“Kingcade Dep.”) 31:15–18, Doc. 3177. eese exams can include, inter alia, physical measurements, blood draws, electrocardiograms, and taking medical histories. Rooney Decl. ex. 1 (“Standards & Protocols Manual”) at 7–8. A. ExamOne’s Contractors & Employees ExamOne employs and contracts with mobile medical examiners to perform these procedures. Kingcade Dep. 34:7–17. ee examiners typically travel to patients’ homes or o ces, although they also can perform examinations at health fairs sponsored by an employer or at an ExamOne o ce. See Kingcade Dep. 33:16–34:6; Rooney Decl. ex. 10 (“Cessner Dep.”) 11:14–21. Examiners advise ExamOne when they are available during the week to conduct examinations, as well as what zip codes they are willing to serve. Cessner Dep. 63:17–25. In addition to performing the examination itself, examiners perform administrative work before and afterward, including contacting clients to con rm upcoming examinations, preparing and printing paperwork, and packaging and shipping specimens collected from the patient. Id. 16:6–4. Some of these mobile examiners are hired as independent contractors. eese contractors agree to perform examinations according to policies and standards set by ExamOne, see generally Standards & Protocols Manual, for which they were paid either a percentage of the revenue ExamOne earned from insurance providers or a set fee per procedure, Kingcade Dep. 36:23–37:8. ee rates and method of payment vary depending on negotiations between ExamOne and the individual contractor. Id. Independent contractors provide equipment such as stethoscopes, centrifuges, and butter y needles Pitzer, Carmella Pope, Marci Raso, Delanda Robertson, Bernadette Rodriguez, Ann Schaefer, Savanna "omas, Candace Truett, and Brittany Wood. 2 (i.e., needles used in blood draws where the patient’s vein is di cult to nd), while ExamOne provides a “test kit” for each examination.2 See, e.g., Rooney Decl. ex. 6 (“Vecchio Independent Contractor Agreement”) § 4; Rooney Decl. ex. 33 (“Fagan Dep.”) 33:2–6. Some contractors use the equipment they purchased in connection with conducting examinations for employers other than ExamOne. Fagan Dep. 33:7–16. Some contractors form an independent legal entity such as a limited liability company, which is the actual party in contract with ExamOne. See, e.g., Rooney Decl. ex. 29 (“Dunn Dep.”) 4:19–21. In fact, some of these entities employ several other individuals, to whom the independent contractor delegates his or her exams. See, e.g., Rooney Decl. ex. 75 (“Brosnan Decl.”) ¶ 7. Independent contractors can and do work for other insurance examination providers, with at least one contractor working for up to a dozen companies at one time. Shelton Dep. 18:13–17. Independent contractors do not record their time at all with ExamOne. Cessner Dep. 11:4–6. Other examiners are directly employed by ExamOne, almost always on a parttime basis. Rooney Decl. ex. 14 (“Strohm Dep.”) 10:8–13. As a policy, ExamOne attempts to have examiners work fewer than 30 hours per week. Kingcade Dep. 112:10– 11. At times, an examiner’s manager could withdraw appointments remaining in the week should the examiner be on track to work more than 30 hours. See, e.g., id. 110:8– 11; Badala Decl. ex. 13 (“Hughes Dep.”) 63:9– 17. Unlike independent contractors, employed examiners are provided equipment including scales, centrifuges, blood pressure cu s, and butter y needles, in addition to consumables in a test kit. Rooney Decl. ex. 16 (“Vecchio Dep.”) 118:1–5. ExamOne does not provide or reimburse employees for printing supplies, including paper, ink, and the printer itself. Rooney Decl. ex. 22 (“Christion-Amador Dep.”) 27:21–28:2. 2 "e parties have not speci ed precisely what is in a test kit. 3 Employees are paid a set fee for each procedure performed during an examination. Kingcade Dep. 36:17–22. eey additionally receive an hourly wage for time spent performing examinations at health fairs or in ExamOne’s o ce, id. 55:20–25, and they can receive bonus compensation under certain circumstances, including when the patient does not show to the appointment. Cessner Dep. 47:19–48:1. Although examiners are occasionally compensated for atypically large amounts of travel, ExamOne does not reimburse examiners for normal mileage. Kingcade Dep. 66:2–25. B. Timekeeping Even though employed examiners are paid on a fee-for-service model, they are required to track their time through a system called Teletime. Kingcade Dep. 90:14–91:1. Some examiners use paper timesheets instead. See, e.g., Rooney Decl. ex. 60 (“Robertson Dep.”) 35:13–36:9. ExamOne used the time records created through these systems to determine what mobile examiners may require an additional payment to reach minimum wage — if their examination fees divided by their hours worked was less than the statutory minimum — or overtime — if they worked more than 40 hours. Maletto Decl. ¶ 4, Doc. 3176; Kingcade Dep. 112:7–14. ExamOne’s formal policies require that employed examiners keep track of their time and indicate they can face discipline if they do not properly enter their time. According to one undated document laying out the performance expectations of examiners, “Examiners are required to clock in/out any time you are working for ExamOne. Failure to clock in/out can result in disciplinary actions. Repeat o enses may result in termination.” Rooney Decl. ex. 4 at QUEST 1027; see also Rooney Decl. ex. 9 at NS_Mary.Hough 465 (threatening “corrective action” if examiners do not properly record all time). In at least one May 2016 email produced during discovery, a manager wrote to examiners directing them to record all time, including time for work done at home. See Rooney Decl. ex. 8 (“[Y]ou will punch in and out anytime you are doing work for Exam One. If you are completing exams you will punch in when you leave your 4 home and stay punched in until you complete your paperwork and centrifuging.”); see also Rooney Decl. ex. 38 (“Harris Dep.”) 110:18–111:14 (describing a similar email). Several plainti s report, however, that they were directed to record only their time working away from home. For example, Crystal Broady said, “eey told me, when you leave your house, to clock in. And then when you are getting home, you clock out.” Badala Decl. ex. 5 (“Broady Dep.”) 21:16–21. Additionally, one Teletime training document indicated that examiners should clock in when leaving home and clock out upon their return: § Record your time as soon as you begin travel to your rst appointment because your home is your ‘place of work’. § If you will be returning home after your rst appointment, punch out as soon as you arrive home. If travel to your second appointment of the day starts/ends at home, punch in as you are leaving home and punch out when you return home. § If you are going immediately from your rst appointment to your second appointment of the day, remain punched in until all sequential appointments are completed. § If you have a gap between appointments, you are free to use this time as you wish, therefore you should punch out when you complete your appointment and punch back in when you begin to travel to your next appointment. Badala Decl. ex. 15 at QUEST 3. Other examiners indicated that had been directed to limit their recording to the time spent performing examinations. For example, Brittany Wood testi ed that she was told shortly after being hired she “needed to only be clocked in when [she] was actually doing exams.” Badala Decl. ex. 3 (“Wood Dep.”) 33:21–25, Doc. 3191. And Natasha Truett stated, “[T]hey didn’t tell us to clock in [while performing post-examination work]. eey just said when you’re doing the exam.” Badala Decl. ex. 4 (“Truett Dep.”) 57:17 22. And some examiners suggested that their managers confronted them when they recorded time spent on tasks other than examinations. Reshondra Parks indicated she 5 would get questions from her managers when she recorded post-examination work. Badala Decl. ex. 15 (“Parks Decl.”) 80:7–14. When she told them that an hour and fteen minutes had passed between her last examination and when she clocked out because she was working on examination-related paperwork, those managers told her to clock out after she left the patient’s house, instead. Id. And Vecchio herself points out that her manager once asked her to adjust her hours downward because the manager believed Vecchio had spent too much time on post-examination work. Badala Decl. ex. 2 (“Opp. Dunbar Dep.”) 106:8–11. Employed examiners varied in their adherence to the o cial ExamOne timekeeping policy. Some recorded all of their time, including pre- and post-examination work. See, e.g., Skelton Decl. ¶ 4, Doc. 444. Others failed to record all of their time because it was “natural not to think about it” given the fee-for-service nature of their pay. See, e.g., Harris Dep. 99:14–101:7. And others did not record their time at all, with one denying the use of timesheets or Teletime altogether. See, e.g., Rooney Decl. ex. 63 (“Seemer Dep.”) 27:1–28:15. C. Estimating Time Worked During discovery, the parties ultimately deposed 59 plainti s, including Vecchio. In these depositions, the deponents made widely varying estimates of the time they traveled between appointments, the time they spent working on pre-appointment tasks, the time they spent during examinations, and the time they spent on post-examination tasks. Travel time between appointments varied between 12 and 98 minutes per appointment, for example. Rooney Decl. tbl. 2. Pre-appointment work could vary between 15 and 120 minutes. Compare Vecchio Dep. 53:2–6 with Rooney Decl. ex. 35 (“Gee Dep.”) 22:18–23:1. ee time to complete an examination procedure varied, as well, among examiners. For example, one examiner testi ed it took her 5 to 10 minutes to take physical measurements while another took between 30 and 40 minutes. Compare 6 Rooney Decl. ex. 66 (“Soto Dep. 32:9–15”) with Rooney Decl. ex. 70 (“Validum Dep.”) 49:10–50:1. To generalize the amount of time worked across the collective, Vecchio engaged an expert, Dr. Stephanie Plancich, who created a methodology she claims can “reliably identify minimum wage and overtime violations for class members.” Badala Decl. ex. 22 (“Plancich Rep.”) ¶ 2. Vecchio provided Plancich with, inter alia, ExamOne’s pay schedule for the various procedures; ExamOne’s estimates of time to prepare for, travel to, perform procedures, and process paperwork for procedures afterwards; records of procedures performed and wages paid for 13 examiners, including Vecchio; time records for 85 employees; and deposition transcripts of 12 examiners, including Vecchio.3 Id. ¶¶ 10–11, ex.

In creating her methodology, Plancich accepted ExamOne’s estimates of the time it takes to perform medical procedures but did not rely on ExamOne’s estimates of travel time or pre- and post-examination work. Plancich Rep. ¶ 15(a). To estimate travel time and time spent on pre- and post-examination tasks, Plancich reviewed the 12 depositions provided to her by Vecchio and calculated an average based on the testimony. Id. ¶ 15(b), (c). She concluded that, on average, an examiner would spend 29 minutes preparing for an appointment, 41 minutes on post-appointment work, and 25 minutes traveling between appointments. Id. ¶ 19. Plancich opined that any given plainti ’s minimum wage and overtime violations can then be calculated by using ExamOne’s estimates of time conducted per procedure, her per-appointment estimates of travel time, pre-examination work, and post-examination work, and ExamOne’s records of procedures conducted and wages paid. Id. ¶¶ 22–25. An expert engaged by ExamOne, Dr. Joseph A. Krock, characterizes Plancich’s methodology as producing “incorrect, inaccurate, and unreliable estimates of minimum 3 Vecchio provided Plancich with the wage records of Mary Hough, but did not provide her deposition transcript. 7 wage and overtime violations.” Rooney Reply Decl. ex. 3 (“Krock Rep.”) ¶ 9(8), Doc. 3200. Krock rst opined that Plancich’s calculation of average travel, pre-appointment, and post-appointment times was inaccurate because she did not cross-reference estimates described by deponents with other data provided to her, including appointment records. Id. ¶ 25. He further notes that time estimates could vary widely within a single deposition, and that Plancich did not account for the reasons behind that variation in her methodology, thereby reducing its usefulness. Id. ¶ 26. For example, one deponent stated she spent between 15 minutes and 2 hours per day on pre-appointment activities and between 2 and 4 hours per examination on post-appointment work. Id. ¶ 27 (citing Rooney Decl. ex. 31 (“Ellis Dep.”) 34:3–17, 35:19–26:15. And he notes that time estimates vary widely as well among the di erent deponents. Id. ¶ 31. For example, one deponent estimated post-appointment time per examination at between 15 and 30 minutes, while another estimated between 120 and 140 minutes. Id. ¶ 30. Finally, Krock observed that Plancich’s methodology sometimes resulted in improbable amounts of time worked per day, calculating that at least one deponent worked nearly 21 hours in a single day, with over 16 of those hours being spent on pre- and post-appointment work. Id. ¶ 33. D. Maria Vecchio Maria Vecchio, the named plainti , began working for ExamOne as an independent contractor in November 2013, earning 38 percent of the amount ExamOne billed to insurance companies for each examination. Vecchio Independent Contractor Agreement § 2. She was hired as a part-time employee in June 2014, earning a set fee per examination performed and an overtime rate of $26.54 per hour. Rooney Decl. ex. 7 (“Employment O er”) at 1. During her time at ExamOne, Vecchio worked in New York City and primarily examined patients at their homes and o ces until she left ExamOne in 2016. Defs.’ Statement of Material Facts (“Defs.’ SMF”) ¶¶ 1, 3, Doc. 3181. Like other 8 employed mobile examiners, Vecchio received a pre-determined fee for each procedure she completed. Id. ¶ 4. Vecchio claims that she did not make minimum wage and was owed overtime for her work at ExamOne. In her deposition, she stated that she was not paid “for at least three hours out of [her] day” and that she worked ten to twelve hours per day “95% of the time.” Plainti ’s Statement of Material Facts (“Pl.’s SMF”) ¶ 12, Doc. 3188. She further claims that her supervisor, Danielle Dunbar, directed her to record only the time she spent in an examination, and to not include any time spent traveling or working before or after an examination. Id. ¶ 8. Vecchio’s expert, Plancich, used Vecchio as an “illustration” of her methodology for calculating collective-wide damages, characterizing the analysis as “preliminary.” Pl.’s SMF ¶¶ 2, 3.

PROCEDURAL HISTORY Vecchio led her complaint in June 2016. Doc. 1. In that complaint, she alleged one count of failure to pay minimum wage in violation of 29 U.S.C. § 206 and one count of failure to pay overtime in violation of 29 U.S.C. § 207. She alleged that she was owed these wages for the entirety of her association with ExamOne, including the time during which she was employed as an independent contractor. She further alleged that the defendants failed to keep records with respect to her hours and that the defendants’ conduct was willful for purposes of extending the statute of limitations. In addition to these federal claims, Vecchio alleged minimum wage, overtime, and wage theft counts under sections 195 and 652 of the New York Labor Law. After approximately a year of discovery, the parties stipulated to the dismissal without prejudice of the New York Labor Law claims in October 2017. Doc. 477. Vecchio eventually re led those claims in state court, after which the defendants removed them to the Southern District; the case was assigned to this Court as related to the present matter. See Vecchio v. Quest Diagnostics, Inc., No. 19 Civ. 5194 (ER) (S.D.N.Y. led June 3, 2019). Six months after the state law claims were dismissed from this lawsuit, the Court conditionally certi ed an FLSA collective on April 30, 2018. Doc. 644, 2018 WL 2021615. In its Opinion and Order, the Court found that Vecchio had made a preliminary showing that the proposed members of the collective were similarly situated to her in that they were subject to a common policy that did not allow them “to remain clocked in while conducting pre- and post-appointment work.” 2018 WL 2021615, at *6. ee Court authorized the issuance of a nationwide notice addressed to “All persons who were employed directly by Defendants as Mobile Examiners (or similar job position), whether designated as independent contractors or employees, at any time in the three 12 years prior to the ling of this Complaint.” Id., at *8. By the end of the notice period, nearly 3000 plainti s had opted in to the collective. Defs.’ SMF ¶ 7. Discovery proceeded under the guidance of Magistrate Judge Fox. On September 5, 2019, Judge Fox set a deadline of October 26, 2019, for the end of fact discovery. Doc. 3156. He ultimately extended expert discovery to January 21, 2020. Docs. 3158, 313165. ee defendants led their motions for decerti cation and partial summary judgment on February 21, 2020. Docs. 3174, 3179. III. FLSA ee elements of FLSA minimum wage and overtime claims are straightforward. First, the plainti must prove she was an employee of the defendant. Second, she must prove she was engaged in or employed by an enterprise engaged in interstate commerce. And, third, she must prove that the defendant failed to pay her the minimum wage or overtime as required by the FLSA. See 28 U.S.C. §§ 206(a)(1), 207(a)(1); see also, e.g., Zhong v. August August Corp., 498 F. Supp. 2d 625 (S.D.N.Y. 2007). Employers are not limited to paying their employees hourly. Instead, they may choose to compensate their workers by the “piece” — or unit of product produced — if the employer and employee agree to that method of payment prior to the performance of the work. 28 U.S.C. § 207(g). It is the employer’s responsibility to keep accurate records of time worked. 28 U.S.C. § 211(c). If the employer does not keep such records, then the plainti may prove her hours worked through her own estimations, which at summary judgment, amount to “su cient evidence to show the amount and extent of [the uncompensated work] as a matter of just and reasonable inference.” Kuebel v. Black & Decker Inc., 643 F.3d 352, 362 (2d Cir. 2011) (quoting Anderson v. Mt. Clemens Pottery Co., 328 U.S. 680, 687 (1946)). Furthermore, for hours to count towards overtime, the employer must have “actual or constructive knowledge” of the qualifying hours worked by the plainti . Id. at 361. In that same vein, however, employers are allowed to discipline employees for 13 working overtime hours against the employer’s wishes — the employer must pay for overtime, but it need not welcome it. See Chao v. Gotham Registry, Inc., 514 F.3d 280, 288 (2d Cir. 2008). IV. MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT Summary judgment is appropriate where “the movant shows that there is no genuine dispute as to any material fact.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(a). “An issue of fact is ‘genuine’ if the evidence is such that a reasonable jury could return a verdict for the nonmoving party.” Senno v. Elmsford Union Free Sch. Dist., 812 F. Supp. 2d 454, 467 (S.D.N.Y. 2011) (citing SCR Joint Venture L.P. v. Warshawsky, 559 F.3d 133, 137 (2d Cir. 2009)). A fact is “material” if it “might a ect the outcome of the suit under the governing law.” Id. (internal quotation marks omitted). ee party moving for summary judgment is rst responsible for demonstrating the absence of any genuine issue of material fact. Celotex Corp. v. Catrett, 477 U.S. 317, 323 (1986). If the moving party meets its burden, “the nonmoving party must come forward with admissible evidence su cient to raise a genuine issue of fact for trial in order to avoid summary judgment.” Saenger v. Monte ore Med. Ctr., 706 F. Supp. 2d 494, 504 (S.D.N.Y. 2010) (internal quotation marks omitted) (citing Jaramillo v. Weyerhaeuser Co., 536 F.3d 140, 145 (2d Cir. 2008)). But “[w]hen the burden of proof at trial would fall on the nonmoving party, it ordinarily is su cient for the movant to point to a lack of evidence to go to the trier of fact on an essential element of the nonmovant’s claim.” Jaramillo, 536 F.3d at 145. A. As Against Vecchio ee defendants rst move for summary judgment against Vecchio as to her minimum wage claims. eey argue that the plainti ’s own expert, in using Vecchio’s documentation and testimony to illustrate her model, found that Vecchio did not su er any federal minimum wage violations. Indeed, Plancich concluded: “Ms. Vecchio does not have Federal minimum wage violations.” In defense, Vecchio notes that her expert’s review of the record was simply preliminary and illustrative. “When Dr. Plancich is 14 supplied with more data,” Vecchio argues, “‘she will use everything that we would have and give you a more robust average.’” Doc. 3817 at 3 (quoting Badala Decl. in Opp. to Mot. for Partial Summ. J. ex. 1 (“Plancich Dep.”) 67:12–16). It is unclear what use additional time could be to her. Vecchio has been named plainti in this case since its inception four years ago, and formal discovery has proceeded for nearly as long. Vecchio already moved for extensions of time for expert discovery to provide her expert additional data — all of which Judge Fox granted. After ExamOne led its motion for partial summary judgment in February, this Court allowed Vecchio over six weeks to formulate her opposition. Given that Vecchio could not provide her expert with the needed information after all of this, the Court will not deny summary judgment based on speculation of what Plancich could come up with between now and a trial. Nor has Vecchio identi ed what data she could provide that would enable her expert to come to a more favorable conclusion. On this point, Vecchio notes that there is no “substantive timekeeping” on which her expert can rely. While it is true that ExamOne was required to keep accurate records of Vecchio’s work, see 28 U.S.C. § 211(c), the failure to do so does not automatically entitle Vecchio to victory. Rather, she must estimate the hours she worked and the wages she is owed. See Kuebel v. Black & Decker Inc., 643 F.3d 352, 362 (2d Cir. 2011). To do so, she may engage an expert to assist in those calculations. She did, and — to her evident chagrin — that expert found that there were no violations of the federal minimum wage laws. Based on this expert opinion — pro ered for the purposes of this motion by ExamOne — the Court nds that ExamOne has made its initial showing that there is no dispute over whether Vecchio herself su ered minimum wage violations. Of course, the burden now shifts to Vecchio to create a genuine dispute of material fact. See Saenger v. Monte ore Med. Ctr., 706 F. Supp. 2d 494, 504 (S.D.N.Y. 2010). In her attempt to do so, Vecchio points only to her own deposition testimony, in 15 which she asserts that she earned less than the minimum wage because she worked long hours for ExamOne. She argues that this testimony alone is enough to dispute Plancich’s unreserved conclusion that Vecchio su ered no federal minimum wage violations. But without even an estimate of the amount of money she earned in a given week that could lead to a “just and reasonable inference” con icting with Plancich’s opinion, Kuebel, 643 F.3d at 362, this Court cannot nd that there is a genuine issue of material fact for a jury to resolve.5 Vecchio’s conclusion that she must have earned less than the minimum wage amounts to bare speculation and alone is not enough to satisfy her burden. See Major League Baseball Properties, Inc. v. Salvino, Inc., 542 F.3d 290, 310 (2d Cir. 2008) (“A party opposing summary judgment does not show the existence of a genuine issue of fact to be tried merely by making assertions that are conclusory or based on speculation.” (internal citations omitted)). Accordingly, the Court GRANTS the defendants’ motion for partial summary judgment as to Vecchio’s minimum wage claims. B. As Against the 32 Opt-In Plainti s ee defendants also move to dismiss the overtime claims of the 32 opt-in plainti s identi ed in supra note 1. ee defendants point to the transcripts of each of these plainti s’ depositions in support. Twenty-two of these opt-in plainti s a rmatively testi ed that they did not work more than 40 hours in any given week.6 Eight testi ed that they could not recall whether they worked more than 40 hours or otherwise equivocated.7 Dickinson indicated that she was neither scheduled for nor recorded more than 40 hours in a week. And Lisa Dunn indicated that she worked 60 to 80 hours in a week for a number of companies, including ExamOne. 5 "e wage data Vecchio provided to Plancich has not been provided to the Court. 6 Speci cally: Broady, Christion-Amador, Clyde, Contreras, Craig, Davis, Michelle Dunn, Fagan, Fantroy, Gee, Harris, Kresko, Martin, Morrison, Pope, Raso, Robertson, Rodriguez, Schaefer, Truett, Wood and Pichon. 7 Speci cally: Anderson, Hough, Knowles, Laurel, Parks, Pitzer, Gonzalez, and "omas. 16 Vecchio, on behalf of these opt-in plainti s, urges the Court to deny summary judgment because the hazy nature of these plainti s’ recollections is not su cient to establish that they never worked more than 40 hours in a week. As an initial matter, this argument does not apply to the 22 plainti s who unequivocally stated they did not work more than 40 hours in a week.8 For all of the others, the Court would only agree if there were any other evidence that tended to suggest these plainti s had worked more than 40 hours in any week for ExamOne. See Kennedy v. City of New York, 570 F. App’x 83, 84 (2d Cir. 2014) ( nding a failure to recall does not create genuine dispute of material fact alone). But there is no such evidence. For 30 of these opt-in plainti s, Vecchio did not submit a single document in opposition other than the deposition transcript excerpts already provided by the defendants. And the proof Vecchio did submit on the behalf of the other two opt-in plainti s — i.e., one page of Harris’ deposition transcript and two pages of Parks’ — does not address the time worked by these plainti s in excess of 40 hours at all.9 Vecchio does suggest that applying her expert’s methodology to these opt-in plainti s could still reveal violations of the overtime laws. eat may be true. But, critically, Vecchio, on whom the burden to create a genuine dispute of material fact rests, did not apply her expert’s methodology to these opt-in plainti s. ee two cases she cites 8 Vecchio argues that the Court should deny summary judgment as to even these defendants because “knowledge as to [employees’] wage theft is not an element of an FLSA overtime claim.” Doc. 3187 at 8 (citing Almanzar v. C & I Assocs., 175 F. Supp. 3d 270, 273 (S.D.N.Y. 2016)). While an accurate statement of the law, this assertion is irrelevant. Vecchio must still demonstrate via some evidence that these opt-in plainti s worked over 40 hours at some point in order to defeat summary judgment. See, e.g., Almanzar, 175 F. Supp. 3d at 274. 9 "e disposition of this motion as to Lisa Dunn is a slightly closer question, as her testimony indicates that she worked for more than 40 hours in a given week, albeit for a number of companies. Vecchio does not, however, provide any proof that suggests that Dunn ever worked for more than 40 hours for ExamOne alone, and therefore summary judgment is appropriate. Futhermore, the testimony pro ered by ExamOne shows that Dunn would nd it “hard” to provide any estimate as to how much she worked for any one employer, further counseling in favor of granting summary judgment. Rooney Decl. in Support of Mot. for Partial Summary J. ex. II at 37:1–10. 17 in support of having the Court wait for new results from Plancich between now and trial are inapposite. First, in Lockheed Martin Transportation Security Solutions v. MTA Capital Construction Co., the parties “agreed to proceed with summary judgment brie ng before damages discovery was completed,” and therefore summary judgment was premature when disputes over damages calculations remained. No. 09 Civ. 4077 (PGG), 2014 WL 12560686, at *33 (S.D.N.Y. Sept. 16, 2014). No such agreement is in place here, nor have the parties requested as much from this Court or Judge Fox. Furthermore, the non-moving party actually produced evidence of damages during brie ng, unlike Vecchio here. Id., at *32. Second, in Sathe v. Bank of New York, a dispute over the methodology for calculating a real estate unit’s pro tability precluded summary judgment. No. 89 Civ. 6810 (LBS), 1991 WL 102614, at *6 n.6 (S.D.N.Y. May 31, 1991). Here, there is no disagreement regarding how to calculate these plainti s’ damages, because Vecchio has produced no estimate of those damages at all of her own. In the absence of any evidence that tends to create a genuine dispute of material fact as to the overtime claims of the 32 opt-in plainti s named in supra note 1, the Court GRANTS the defendants’ motion for partial summary judgment. V. MOTION FOR DECERTIFICATION ee defendants move for decerti cation of the collective, arguing that the opt-in plainti s are not similarly situated to the named plainti , Vecchio. ee Court agrees, grants the defendants’ motion, and dismisses the claims of the opt-in plainti s without prejudice. A. Ve “Similarly Situated” Test Persons “similarly situated” to a named plainti may join an FLSA lawsuit. 29 U.S.C. § 216(b). A feature aimed at ful lling FLSA’s remedial purpose, section 216(b) allows plainti s to pool their resources and take “advantage of lower individual costs to vindicate rights by the pooling of resources.” Scott v. Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc., 954 F.3d 502, 515–16 (2d Cir. 2020), petition for cert. led, No. 20-257 (U.S. Aug. 28, 2020). 18 (quoting Ho mann-La Roche Inc. v. Sperling, 493 U.S. 165, 170 (1989)). Unlike the class action mechanism of Rule 23 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, section 216(b) grants opt-in plainti s a right to join in the named plainti ’s claims. See id. at 515. ee Second Circuit has approved a two-step approach in determining whether optin plainti s are similarly situated to the named plainti . Scott, 954 F.3d at 515. In the preliminary certi cation phase, a district court examines a davits and determines whether the named plainti s have made a “modest factual showing that they and others together were victims of a common policy or plan that violated the law.” Glatt v. Fox Searchlight Pictures, Inc., 811 F.3d 528, 540 (2d Cir. 2016). If the plainti s make that showing, then the district court allows for a notice to be sent out to potential opt-in plainti s. Id. In the nal decerti cation phase, the court reexamines the collective after the bene t of discovery and makes a nal ruling on whether the collective is in fact similarly situated to the named plainti s. Id. In that second phase, the plainti has the burden of showing that the opt-in plainti s are similarly situated to her. Zivali v. AT & T Mobility, LLC, 784 F. Supp. 2d 456, 460 (S.D.N.Y. 2011). If the plainti s fail to meet that burden, which is more stringent than that faced in the preliminary phase, then the opt-in plainti s are dismissed without prejudice from the lawsuit. Id. Until recently, courts in this circuit considered three factors when examining whether opt-in plainti s are similarly situated to the named plainti : “the (1) disparate factual and employment settings of the plainti s; (2) defenses available to defendants which appear to be individual to each plainti ; and (3) fairness and procedural considerations counseling for or against collective action treatment.” Zivali, 784 F. Supp. 2d at 460 (internal alteration and quotation marks omitted). Various courts have referred to this analysis as the “ad hoc approach.” E.g., Ziessen v. Gen. Elec. Capital Corp., 267 F.3d 1095, 1103 (10th Cir. 2001); Gardner v. W. Beef Properties, Inc., No. 07 Civ. 2345 (NGG) (JMA), 2013 WL 1629299, at *4 (E.D.N.Y. Mar. 25, 2013). 19 But shortly before brie ng of this motion concluded, a panel of the Second Circuit called this ad hoc approach into question with its decision in Scott. 954 F.3d at 517. ee majority rst de ned “similarly situated” to mean “that named plainti s and opt-in plainti s are alike with regard to some material aspect of their litigation.” Id. at 516. Such a similarity is not “any similarity,” but rather a “similarity with respect to an issue of law or fact material to the disposition of their FLSA claim.” Id. at 516 n.4 (responding to the dissent of Sullivan, J.). een, it compared the requirements of section 216(b) with the predominance requirement of Rule 23 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, ultimately nding that the two analyses were altogether di erent. “[A]nalogies to Rule 23,” the majority held, “are inconsistent with the language of § 216(b) and [the] question of whether plainti s may proceed as a collective under the FLSA is to be analyzed under the separate and independent requirements of § 216(b).” Id. at 518. Based on this holding, the majority found that the district court had committed an abuse of discretion by applying a higher level of scrutiny to a large collective through analogies to the predominance requirement of Rule 23, as opposed to solely determining whether the plainti s were similarly situated. Id. at 520–21. ee e ect of Scott on the ad hoc approach is unclear. In its opinion, the majority “question[ed] whether the ad hoc approach is consistent with the notion that party plainti s are similarly situated . . . to the extent they share a similar issue of law or fact material to the disposition of their FLSA claims.” Scott, 954 F.3d at 517. It further described the test as “abstract” and cautioned that its use could “import, through a back door, requirements with no application to the FLSA,” as it held the district court did in that case. Id. Nevertheless, the majority did not explicitly forbid the use of the ad hoc approach, instead holding only that “it is error for courts to equate the requirements of 20 § 216(b) with those of Rule 23 in assessing whether named plainti s are ‘similarly situated’ to opt-in plainti s under the FLSA.” Id. at 520.10 ee Court need not determine for the resolution of this motion whether the ad hoc test remains a viable tool in this circuit. It is clear from the Scott majority’s holding that a prerequisite for certi cation is the existence of a material similarity. See id. at 516. ee ad hoc test contains the same prerequisite. See id. at 524 (Sullivan, J. dissenting) (arguing the need for courts to grapple with both “similarities and dissimilarities” through use of the ad hoc test (emphasis added)). B. Lack of Similarity Vecchio, however, has not proven any such material similarity between herself and the opt-in plainti s. In her brie ng, she advances only two potential similarities: (1) that the members of the collective were all subjected to a policy of requiring o -the-clock work; and (2) that the collective had similar job responsibilities. Neither is truly a material issue that applies to the entirety of the collective.11 Ze Policy of O -the-Clock Work Vecchio’s primary allegation is that she and the other members of the collective were required to work many hours o -the-clock. ExamOne allegedly forced them to do so through a combination of o cial policies to record only time worked away from home and individual communications from management to not record time spent traveling or performing pre-and post-examination work. If those hours were counted, she argues, she and her fellow mobile examiners would be entitled to minimum wage, overtime, or both. 10 Indeed, one of the cases on which the majority relied allowed the use of an ad hoc approach so long as it was “modi ed so as to account for [its] aws.” Scott, 954 F.3d at 523 (Sullivan, J., dissenting) (quoting Campbell v. City of Los Angeles, 903 F.3d 1090 (9th Cir. 2018)). 11 Furthermore, Vecchio has made no request that the Court alter the collective’s de nition or split it into sub-groups. Cf., e.g., >ind v. Health rst Management Sercvs. LLC, No. 14 Civ. 9439, 2016 WL 718762 (S.D.N.Y. Dec. 9, 2016) (simultaneously examining a motion to decertify and a motion to amend the complaint to substitute new collective de nitions). 21 Although Vecchio never explicitly describes why having a policy of o -the-clock work would be material to the FLSA analysis,12 such a policy could be material in two ways. First, it could show that ExamOne’s record-keeping was “inaccurate or inadequate,” allowing the members of the collective to prove their claims through “just and reasonable inference.” Kuebel v. Black & Decker, 643 F.3d 352, 362 (2d Cir. 2011). Second, it could tend to show that ExamOne had actual or constructive notice of hours worked o -clock, rebutting a potential a rmative defense. See id. at 361. But even though these issues may be material, they are not common across the collective. As an initial matter, neither of these analyses will apply to those who worked as independent contractors. ExamOne kept no time-records regarding the work completed by these plainti s because it determined that they were not protected by the FLSA and related laws. ee policies that Vecchio claims are unlawful — requiring mobile examiners to record only portions of their time — only applied to those examiners classi ed as employees. Accordingly, this issue is not shared across the collective.13 Even if the independent contractors were put to the side, however, the alleged practice would not show a material similarity supporting continued certi cation. Vecchio has failed to show that it was in fact a collective-wide policy to record only the time spent in examinations, with the evidence showing that communication, enforcement, and adherence to the policy of recording time varied across the collective. For example, some managers stressed a policy of recording all time to some examiners, see, e.g., Rooney 12 Vecchio does spend much of her brie ng claiming that examiners were not paid for o -the-clock time. See, e.g., Doc. 3190 at 7. But this assertion is simply unsupported by the record. ExamOne may lawfully compensate its examiners at a “piece-rate,” that is, for every examination conducted, rather than an hourly wage. See 28 U.S.C. § 207(g). Only if the e ective wage — as calculated across all recorded and unrecorded time — falls below the minimum wage or if overtime is not paid does a violation arise. Indeed, the record is uncontested that if ExamOne’s Teletime system determined an employee was paid below minimum wage or owed overtime, then ExamOne compensated the employee accordingly. 13 For much the same reason, Vecchio cannot argue that the collective shares a similarity because independent contractors were misclassi ed. Employees in the collective do not share that issue, and so any classi cation decision would have no bearing on their cases. 22 Decl. exs. 8, 9; Harris Dep. 110:18–111:14, while others directed examiners to record only time spent on examinations, see, e.g., Truett Dep. 57:17–22. Some examiners recorded all of their time, e.g., Skelton Decl. ¶ 4, some recorded some time, e.g., Harris Dep. 99:14–101:7, and others recorded no time at all, e.g., Seemer Dep. 27:1–28:15. eough there may be a dispute about what, in fact, ExamOne’s policy was regarding tracking time spent in travel, pre-examination, and post-examination given discrepancies in policy documents, compare Rooney Decl. ex. 4 at QUEST 1027 (requiring all time to be recorded) with Badala Decl. ex. 15 at QUEST 3 (requiring only time away from home to be recorded), the proof before the Court suggests that there is no single issue common to the entire collective. For some of the employee-plainti s, time records may be complete and accurate, while for others they will be non-existent; such a variation would prevent a fact- nder from determining that all plainti s are entitled to proving their hours worked with a just and reasonable inference. Similarly, the varying testimony across the deposed opt-in plainti s illustrates that no fact- nder could make a blanket nding that ExamOne had actual or constructive knowledge of all unrecorded hours worked by the members of the collective. eis nding is similar to those made in both Zind v. Health rst Management Services LLC, No. 14 Civ. 9439 (LGS), 2016 WL 718762 (S.D.N.Y. Dec. 9, 2016) and Zivali v. AT & T Mobility, LLC, 784 F. Supp. 2d 456 (S.D.N.Y. 2011). In Zind, Judge Scho eld found that the collective before her did not share a similarity in their work circumstances because some had been told to work o -the-clock and others had not. 2016 WL 718762, at *3. And in Zivali, Judge Rako found that the knowledge of individual managers varied, precluding a collective-wide nding of actual or constructive knowledge of plainti s’ work. 784 F. Supp. 2d at 468. eis Court likewise declines to 23 nd that there exists a collective-wide policy of requiring o -clock work that would be material to an analysis under the FLSA.14 Ze Similarity in Job Responsibilities Vecchio claims that the job responsibilities of the collective members are su ciently similar such that the methodology of her expert, Plancich, could be used to estimate hours worked across the collective. If this were true, then the plainti s would be similarly situated in a manner that counsels proceeding as a collective. But they are not. Plancich made her estimates of time worked outside of examinations using the depositions of only 12 opt-in plainti s selected by Vecchio. While it is true, at least in actions brought by the Secretary of Labor, that “a ‘representative sample’ of employees can provide a foundation for assumptions about the overall employee pool,” Harold Levinson Assocs., Inc. v. Chao, 37 F. App’x 19, 21 (2d Cir. 2002) (citing Reich v. S. New England Telecomms. Corp., 121 F.3d 58, 66–67 (2d Cir. 1997)), nowhere in her report does Plancich explain whether this 0.4% of the collective can be fairly considered representative of the whole. Cf. Reich, 121 F.3d at 67–68 ( nding a sample of 2.5% su ciently representative); id. (collecting cases that found samples of 22.4, 55.9, 10.6, 61.5, and 2.7 percent su ciently representative). Of course, “[i]t is axiomatic that the weight to be accorded evidence is a function not of quantity but of quality and that, depending on the nature of the facts to be proved, a very small sample of representational evidence can su ce.” Reich, 121 F.3d at 67 (internal citations omitted). But Vecchio has not proven that the quality of her sample is any better than its quantity. To begin, Plancich does not explain in her report why only 12 depositions were used despite 59 depositions of employees being taken in this matter or why those particular 12 deponents were chosen. Although the Court does not go so far 14 Vecchio argues that this Court faces “precisely the opposite situation, where examiner after examiner has testi ed that they were directed to work o -the-clock.” Doc. 3190 at 8. But Vecchio overstates the record. As noted, the record shows that any policy of directing o -clock work was inconsistently applied across the collective, and accordingly cannot form the basis for a collective-wide nding. 24 to nd that this decision is “biased” as ExamOne’s expert opines, Krock Rep ¶ 47, it does nd that these omissions reduce the weight of this evidence. Furthermore, the 12 deponents Vecchio provided to Plancich show wide variation in the amount of time they spent on various tasks, further showing that this hand-picked dozen — and therefore this methodology — can not be used to show that all nearly 3000 opt-in plainti s are similarly situated for purposes of certi cation. Instead, the Court will look to the weight of the evidence presented by the dozens of depositions produced by the defendants in their decerti cation motion. As described in supra Part I.C, these depositions show that the examiners varied widely in how long it took to perform examination procedures, pre-appointment work, post-appointment work, and to travel. It would be impossible for the Court or a jury to decide in one fell swoop the proper hours calculation for the entire collective, even given the relatively low requirement that it make such a nding using a “just and reasonable inference.” Accordingly, the Court nds that the collective is not similarly situated in this respect. *** As Vecchio has not pro ered any true similarities between herself and the collective, ExamOne’s motion for decerti cation is granted. ee Court, however, stresses two nal points in conclusion. First, nding that the collective must be decerti ed does not imply that the members of the collective do not have valid claims under the FLSA. ee collective members’ claims are dismissed without prejudice, and they may choose to re le their claims separately or as their own collectives that are similarly situated. And, second, the Court does not make this nding because it determines that the di erences among the members of the collective outweigh the similarities. Rather, it makes this determination because Vecchio’s pro ered similarities between herself and the collective are merely super cial; none are in any respect material to the disposition of their claims. See Scott v. Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc., 954 F.3d 502, 516 (2d Cir. 2020). For these reasons, the claims of all opt-in plainti s are DISMISSED without prejudice. 25 VI. CONCLUSION For the forgoing reasons, the defendants’ motions for summary judgment and decerti cation are GRANTED. ee Court makes the following orders: § Vecchio’s minimum wage claims are DISMISSED with prejudice; § ee overtime claims of the 32 opt-in plainti s named in supra note 1 are DISMISSED with prejudice; and § ee claims of all remaining opt-in plainti s are DISMISSED without prejudice. ee parties are directed to appear for a status teleconference on October 9, 2020, at 10:30 a.m. eey are further are directed to dial (877) 411-9748 and enter access code 302 9857# at that time. ee Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to terminate all plainti s in this case except for Vecchio and terminate the motions, Docs. 3174, 3179, and 3184.15 It is SO ORDERED.
