Willard, Esquire Eckert, Seamans, Cherin & Mellot 600 Grant Street 44th Floor, U. S. Steel Tower Pittsburgh, PA 15219 Counsel for appellees in case 12-1446 6 Alexandra Bak-Boychuk, Esquire David S. Fryman, Esquire (Argued) William K. Kennedy, II, Esquire John B. Langel, Esquire Ballard Spahr 1735 Market Street 51st Floor Philadelphia, PA 19103 Robert B. Cottington, Esquire Cohen & Grigsby 625 Liberty Avenue Pittsburgh, PA 15222 Counsel for appellees in case 12-1903 O P I N I O N RENDELL, Circuit Judge: In this consolidated appeal we consider whether named plaintiffs may appeal a district court order denying final certification of a collective action under the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”), 29 U.S.C. § 201 et seq. (2007). The named plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed their individual claims with prejudice but seek to pursue an appeal on behalf of others who opted into the litigation before the District Court. We conclude that the named plaintiffs lack final orders appealable under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. Thus, we will dismiss these appeals for lack of jurisdiction. 7 I. “The FLSA establishes federal minimum-wage, maximum-hour, and overtime guarantees that cannot be modified by contract.” Genesis Healthcare Corp. v. Symczyk, 133 S. Ct. 1523, 1527 (2013). Under Section 16(b) of the FLSA, 29 U.S.C. § 216(b), an employee may bring an action against his employer individually, on his own behalf, and collectively, on behalf of other “similarly situated” employees. Id. In order to become parties to a collective action under Section 16(b), employees must affirmatively opt-in by filing written consents with the court. 29 U.S.C. § 216(b). This feature distinguishes the collective-action mechanism under Section 16(b) from the class-action mechanism under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23, where, once the class is certified, those not wishing to be included in the class must affirmatively opt-out. Courts in our Circuit follow a two-step process for deciding whether an action may properly proceed as a collective action under the FLSA. Zavala v. Wal-Mart Stores Inc., 691 F.3d 527, 535 (3d Cir. 2012). Applying a “fairly lenient standard” at the first step, the court makes a preliminary determination as to whether the named plaintiffs have made a “modest factual showing” that the employees identified in their complaint are “similarly situated.” Id. at 536 & n.4. If the plaintiffs have satisfied their burden, the court will “conditionally certify” the collective action for the purpose of facilitating notice to potential opt-in plaintiffs and conducting pre-trial discovery. Id. at 536. At the second stage, with the benefit of discovery, “a court following this approach then makes a conclusive determination as to whether each plaintiff who has opted in to the collective 8 action is in fact similarly situated to the named plaintiff.” Genesis Healthcare Corp. v. Symczyk, 656 F.3d 189, 193 (3d Cir. 2011), rev’d on other grounds, Symczyk, 133 S. Ct. at 1526. This step may be triggered by the plaintiffs’ motion for “final certification,” by the defendants’ motion for “decertification,” or, commonly, by both. If the plaintiffs succeed in carrying their heavier burden at this stage, the case may proceed on the merits as a collective action. Id. It is under this framework that Appellants brought their actions. II. The first consolidated action was commenced on April 2, 2009, by Karen Camesi, Erin O’Connell, Dinah Baker, and Lori Shaffer (the “Camesi Named Plaintiffs”) against UPMC and multiple related entities (collectively, “UPMC”) in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania on behalf of themselves and “similarly situated” individuals. (Camesi J.A. at A-40). They alleged that their employer, UPMC, violated the FLSA by failing to ensure that they were paid for time worked during meal breaks. Upon filing their complaint, the Camesi Named Plaintiffs moved for expedited conditional certification. (Id.) The motion was granted in May 2009, notice was directed to potential collective-action members, and 3,115 individuals opted into the lawsuit. (Camesi
