The business will go into the red briefly before the market adapts, but many businesses operate on a deficit for periods of time, they'll just increase their debt a little comparatively. I'm not saying no businesses failure will be attributable to the change, but it's not going to be nearly as significant as it's made out to be unless people go around scaremongering.

You still haven't said where the money comes from. Are you suggesting that the companies foot the bill out of profits? Are you thinking they will pass it off to their customers? Do you implement rules that lowers the companies tax liability so they can pay the employees with the difference?
Money flows in a circle, Who is responsible for providing the extra money to the employee.
