“[plaintiffs’ submissions do not include sufficient evidence of a nationwide common policy or plan to deny [Sales Associates] pay for overtime. As the Second Circuit has made clear, the requisite modest factual showing “cannot be satisfied simply by unsupported assertions.” Myers v. Hertz Corp., 624 F.3d 537, 555 (2d Cir.2010) (internal quotation marks omitted). Plaintiffs’ motion relies precisely on such unsupported assertions to the extent Plaintiffs seek nationwide certification. Contrary to Plaintiffs’ personal knowledge as to the pay practices at the stores in which they worked, Plaintiffs’ assertions about the pay practices at other stores across the country are conclusory and unsupported.”

1 later decision quote this exact passage“[a]t this procedural stage, the court does not resolve factual disputes, decide substantive issues going to the ultimate merits, or make credibility determinations.”
