But small business owners fear the financial hit, worried they’ll pay for two workers during leave. The public comment period ends June 17, and a compromise may be in the works—on weeks, coverage, or exemptions. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
