A new bill passed by lawmakers in New York would allow employees to take three months off after the death of a loved one. The bill still has to meet approval from Governor Cuomo.

Business owners are concerned about how the bill could impact operations. The bill includes 12 weeks off for the death of a spouse, domestic partner, child, parent, in-law, grandparent, or grandchild, according to CBS New York.
