Chicago's paid leave policy delayed after amended by City Council committee

The measure was approved just a month ago by the City Council, requiring all employers to provide at least 10 days of paid leave to all workers.

CHICAGO - It appears Chicago's new paid leave policy may be delayed until next summer. 

The measure was approved just a month ago by the City Council, requiring all employers to provide at least 10 days of paid leave to all workers.

However, the policy was amended by a committee Thursday to add more protection for small businesses.

The change also delayed its implementation by six months. The updated measure will go before the council next week.
