The committee approved a plan that cuts the number of days off from 15 to 10 and exempts small businesses from having to pay out unused paid time off.

Mayor Brandon Johnson’s major paid leave package for Chicago workers moved to the cusp of approval Thursday after his City Council allies made some concessions that still didn’t allay the concerns of business owners who say the changes will be too costly.

A vote on the proposal was delayed Monday after members of the City Council’s Black Caucus and business groups pushed back.
