Primary Task Response: Within the Discussion Board area, write 400–600 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas.
All employees need to work with the human resources (HR) department to ensure a fair, safe, and legal workplace.

What is the process of requesting FMLA leave?
What are some examples of how FMLA provides employees with job protection during their FMLA leave?
What are some of the responsibilities that employees have during their FMLA leave?

Responses to Other Students: Respond to at least 2 of your fellow classmates with at least a 100-word reply about their Primary Task Response regarding items you found to be compelling and enlightening. To help you with your discussion, please consider the following questions:

Using the directional terms in the table from your textbook, describe how you, or someone close by you, is sitting or standing. Include at least 5 of the terms describing body positioning and movement. Then describe the opposite (for example, if you said your foot was plantar flexed, use dorsiflexed) for all of the terms you used, and make a guess whether you would be comfortable in that position.
Your response should be posted to the Discussion Area below. By the end of the week, begin commenting on at least 2 of your peers’ responses. Ask questions, further the discussion of the topic, reinforce a response, or add another dimension to the discussion. Always use constructive language.
Part Two
