ORDER

D.P. MARSHALL, Jr., District Judge.

Johnson has moved for conditional certification of a collective action under the Fair Labor Standards Act and approval of related notices. The motion is mostly unopposed. It is granted as modified.

1. Johnson and the other HVAC employees in the potential group are similarly situated under the fairly lenient governing standard. Hoffman-La Roche, Inc. v. Sperling, 493 U.S. 165, 169 (1989); Freeman v. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., 256 F. Supp. 2d. 941, 944-45 (W.D. Ark. 2003). Johnson has made the modest factual showing required. Considering all the material circumstances, the Court concludes that any HVAC installer employed by any of the Defendants between 10 August 2013 and 10 August 2016, are similarly situated to Johnson. They worked the same jobs during the same period of time, performed the same duties, and were paid in the same manner. Smith v. Frac Tech Services, Ltd., 2009 WL 4251017 at *4 (E.D. Ark. 24 Nov. 2009). The Court therefore conditionally certifies this group*:

2. The Court approves the proposed consent form, and reminder postcard. The Court approves the proposed notice with the tweaks noted on the attached drafts. The Court directs the Defendants to give Johnson's attorneys (in electronic spreadsheet format) the list of names of all people who fit the group definition. The list should include their home addresses and telephone numbers, if known. Defendants are right, though, that any more information would go too far at this point; birthdays, non-public phone numbers, and social security numbers aren't necessary. The notice schedule will be as follows:

And the Court grants Johnson's request to include the complaint with the notice. If Defendants ask Johnson to include the answer, then Johnson must include it, too.

Mostly unopposed motion, No 16, granted as modified.

So Ordered.
