If the WC injury is also an FMLA-qualifying serious medical condition, then the WC absence is protected for up to twelve (12) weeks. (Coded FWC)
After the 12 weeks, WC absences are unprotected.
The system will allow you to make adjustments if unprotected time was entered in error

This is usually illness time.
