user: Read the case excerpt and choose the best holding from the options. Case excerpt: 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 July 10, 2006) (unpublished) (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 Options: A. holding that police officers have a duty to prevent crime and arrest offenders 24 hours a day and that a public duty is triggered any time an officer observes a crime even outside the hours of his official work B. holding that the question of whether any employees were actually deprived of overtime compensation because of employers no overtime policy in violation of the flsa should have been addressed only at the damages stage of the proceedings C. holding that a plan administrators decision to deny benefits was arbitrary and capricious even though an attending physician had submitted a form stating the plaintiff could sit for six hours stand for two hours and walk for two hours D. holding that to state a claim for wage violations under the flsa plaintiffs must provide at least some approximation of the overtime hours that defendants required them to work and a time frame for when those hours were worked E. holding class was inappropriate for conditional certification because plaintiffs were employed at different store locations where different individual restaurant managers allegedly used varying means to deprive the plaintiffs of proper compensation for his or her overtime hours the nature of the asserted violation differ among the plaintiffs the number of uncompensated overtime hours that are being claimed range from two 2 to twelve hours 12 hours weekly and the alleged violations are contrary to the defendants official written policy which precludes store managers from requiring employees to work offtheclock and requires payment of time and onehalf for all overtime hours worked
