How do I designate sick usage as ‘protected’ via I-181?

When submitting sick usage via I-181, the ‘protected’ sick indicator should be entered in the ‘UC_FMLA Flag’ field as ‘P’. 

  • For Biweekly employees: 

    • Earn Code: S1L

    • UC_FMLA Flag: P

  • For Monthly employees: 

    • Earn Code: SKL

    • UC_FMLA Flag: P

Note: Hours entered as:
