Can the new earnings for Sick Leave or Family Medical Leave be paid at an hourly rate?

No, these can only be distributed as flat dollar amounts.

For hourly employees, please use the number of hours and their corresponding rate* to determine the amount they should be paid.

* For Federal Paid Medical Leave, Tier 1 earning code (types 1-3) will be paid at the regular rate of pay (or at the minimum wage, whichever is greater), while Tier 2 earning code (types 4-6) will be paid at 2/3 the regular rate of pay (or the minimum wage, whichever is greater). Please see Federal Paid Sick Leave under COVID-19 for more information.
