Pizza Store General Manager Class Certification Reversed

A Superior Court granted class certification to pizza store general managers who claimed they were denied overtime. ?They argued that, despite their? titles,? their? work? was? no? different? from those of production employees, who took orders, made pizzas, worked the register, etc.? ?The company argued the managers were exempt as executives.?? ?Division? II ?reversed? the? grant? of class certification.?? The basic problem was that although there was evidence that the named plaintiff did mostly non-exempt work, there was no evidence that managers at other stores also performed mostly non-exempt work.??
