56.  Marshalls’ and HomeGoods’ stores owned and/or operated by Defendants operate  under the same corporate policies, procedures, and programs.   57.  All Assistant Store Managers at Marshalls and HomeGoods share the same  uniform job descriptions.   58.  Upon information and belief, well over fifty (50) percent of all of Defendants’  Assistant Store Managers’ time was spent performing duties such as stocking and running  merchandise, processing merchandise in the backroom, cleaning the store, ringing the registers,  unloading the delivery trucks, performing markdowns, store recovery, trash disposal, as well as  other duties typically expected of hourly employees.     59.  Rather than increase staff or hours worked by non-exempt employees in order to  assure the proper functioning of a store, upper management required Assistant Store Managers to  work longer hours and fulfill tasks expected of hourly employees.     60.  As a result, Assistant Store Managers have worked excessive amounts of overtime  hours in order to perform the duties of hourly positions.  Plaintiffs and other similarly situated  Assistant Managers were required to work up to seventy hours a week and/or six days each  week.   62.  This type of forced overtime without pay is common-place within Defendants’  stores.  The potential putative class/collective Plaintiffs have worked and continue to work  overtime hours without statutorily required compensation.   63.  In order to effectuate this scheme and practice, upper management dissuaded  employees from asking questions about overtime pay.
