demonstrates that a class of similarly situated and interested individuals exists. Although Qwest points to many small differences in the job descriptions of different employees, it does not dispute the relevant facts: Qwest’s phone log-in system seives as the time clock for Plaintiffs and putative fic arguments that Defendants have asserted against conditional certification. 2. Conditional Certification of Off-the-Clock Classes Defendants admit that, while cases involving whether the plaintiffs are misclassified as exempt from the FLSA overtime requirements may be appropriate for certification, off-the-clock cases are often inappropriate for certification. See, e.g., West v. Border Foods, Inc., Civil No. 05-2525 (DWF/RLE), 2006 WL 1892527, at *9 (D.Minn. July 10, 2006) (unpublished) (<HOLDING>) (citation omitted). Defendants also argue that
