Her practice involves all aspects of litigation, including discrimination, harassment, and retaliation allegations and wage and hour claims in both state and federal court. Macin assists clients on all employment and labor related issues and human resource best practices. She also counsels clients on affirmative action planning.

Before joining the firm full time, Macin was a summer associate in both 2022 and 2023. She graduated magna cum laude from Saint Louis University School of Law with a concentration in employment law and was inducted into the Order of the Woolsack for her academic successes. While in law school, Macin served as the editor-in-chief of the ABA Journal of Labor & Employment Law which provided her with valuable insight into the complex landscape of this practice area. Macin was also very involved in the Women Law Students’ Association, serving in various roles in the organization to provide support to women pursuing a career in law. She was awarded the Women Lawyers’ Association's Linda J. Murphy Scholarship for her dedication to academics and commitment to serving women in the community.

The Wait Is Over: DOL Increase to Salary Threshold Thrown Out, Nationwide

After months of speculation, the District Court for the Eastern District of Texas issued an order invalidating the U.S. Department of Labor’s (“DOL”) rule increasing the minimum salary threshold that must be paid to certain employees to render them exempt from the overtime requirements of the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”). Specifically, the court found that the DOL exceeded its rulemaking authority by putting a “sharp increase” on salary minimums that “effectively displace[d]” the job duties tests for those exemptions. Many employers were awaiting this ruling as they considered whether to sharply increase certain exempt employees’ salaries on January 1 to meet the new threshold or reclassify them as “non-exempt” and start paying overtime. For now, employers can go “pencils down” on that review.

Successful Missouri Ballot Initiative Ups State Minimum Wage and Imposes New Paid Leave Requirements

As 2024 election results roll in, Missouri employers should take note of two new employment requirements enacted via ballot initiative. Missouri voters passed the ballot initiative known as Proposition A, which will increase the state’s minimum wage and require private employers to provide employees with paid sick and safe leave (“PSSL”). Missouri joins Nebraska and Alaska, which passed similar ballot initiatives this fall, on the list of over twenty states where employees will be entitled to some form of earned PSSL. The leave requirements will be codified as RSMo 290.600-642, and the state minimum wage will appear in RSMo 290.502.
