The COVID-19 pandemic interrupted life suddenly triggering massive problems in all aspects of life, but especially in the labor market leading to the emergence of various arrangements, so that a large part of employees and companies had to adapt to the change and continue their activity. These rapid changes, especially the transition to working from office to working from home, have radically changed the face of the labor market and brought about changes in how the employers and employees relate to this type of work.

The work is based on a questionnaire applied to 100 employees from various work environments, both from private and public sector in Romania.
The Corona Virus and Labor Rights Issues: How Do Workers Get Their Rights?
The Indonesian Journal of International Clinical Legal Education
The impact of Covid-19 is very broad and comprehensive in all human life. Students must learn from home, workers work from home, and all people worship from home. Really, a life that I never imagined before. Students complain about online lectures because assignments are increasing, internet quota runs out quickly, not to mention students from remote areas that are difficult to signal. This is clearly very troublesome for them. Even for workers who cannot work from home, the appeal to work from home is not valid. They are not office workers or lecturers who can work from home. They have to work on the streets, in the field, even in the fields or gardens. It is impossible for farmers to work from home. This can make us realize that we cannot eat money. Food needs will still be fulfilled by farmers. Referring to the right to decent work and livelihood, it is fitting for the Government to ensure that there is no Termination of Employment by the company and the provision of adequate wag...

UNIFIKASI : Jurnal Ilmu Hukum
Article 28D paragraph (2) of the 1945 Constitution states everyone has the right to work and to receive fair and proper compensation and treatment in a working relationship. It is emphasized in Article 151 (1) of Law no. 13/2003 concerning Manpower. The entrepreneurs, workers/laborers, trade/labor unions, and the government must make every effort to prevent an employment termination. In fact, many workers have been terminated and some even did not receive any severance pay at all. Accordingly, the researchers formulated the following research questions: how to terminate employment in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, and how is the government’s responsibility for the welfare guarantees for workers. This research employed a normative juridical approach by collecting data from literature studies. The data obtained were analyzed qualitatively. The findings revealed the layoffs in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic were a breach of contract by entrepreneurs. The entrepreneurs were st...
Navigating between the Clashing Rocks: Employee relations in the era of Covid-19

The complex and dynamic relationship between employers and employees is being tested due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The era of the Covid-19 pandemic created a new way of living imposing physical distancing, social isolation, increased workplace safety measures and decreased economic activities. Local governments introduced and applied measures to reduce the dispersion and transmission rate of the virus that affected both employers and employees. We explore the impact of Covid-19 on employee relations and HRM by addressing the research question: "How Covid-19 pandemic impact on employee relations?'' Employees during the period of lockdown expressed fear for the virus, confusion and experienced insecurity as during the lockdown they were preoccupied for the survival of their organization. Employee's voice is more difficult to be heard due to the pandemic, especially when there is no physical presence in the workplace. We explore the impact of Covid-19 on employee relations and the created changes that are to be considered in Human Resource Management practices in the Covid-19 era. We suggest that Organizations need to manage external crisis and remain adaptive and alert and find solutions to problems and challenges arising due to coronavirus. Human Resource Management function now should focus in helping employee's adjustment to the new created situation deriving from coronavirus. Besides, HR managers, HR consultants and Organizations need to rethink, redesign, redefine their roles, adopt new practices and create initiatives such as counseling services to reduce the fear and insecurity and enhance the health and wellbeing of employees.

Purpose/objective: the study is a multiple-perspective analysis adopted to examine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the workers, organisations and people in terms of losses and gains. The paper is, therefore, an attempt to present a balance argumentative view of the implications of COVID-19 pandemic on the society, public organizations, and the private sector, community and family settings. Existing scholarships located in journals and other outlets tend to count the pains caused by the pandemic without looking at some gains like the strengthening of family and community ties and relationships, religious revolution, revival and awakening (affirmation of right spiritual values); increase in scientific and social researches and publications; more academics papers by faculty; the boosting of online education economy, awakening the need to prioritize governmental budgeting to address key areas like the health sector. Design/Methodology/Approach: the paper adopts a descriptive research design involving content analysis. A multiple-perspective analysis (MPA) which avoids a one-sided analysis, was adopted in the study. Findings: the findings reveal that society, individuals, the public and private sectors can profit from the public health crisis caused by COVID-19 despite the obvious negatives implications of the pandemic. Originality/Contributions: the study is original for providing a paradigm shift from the one-sided prevailing debate of analyzing the economic, manpower losses, and social pains of the COVID-19 pandemic. The study has, therefore contributed to knowledge by filling the existing gap-in-literature. The study has theoretical, policy and empirical implications and relevance.

The article analyzes how organizations interpret the systemic relationships among labor market and labor relations in their human resource management (HRM) strategies in the Covid-19 pandemic. Through a qualitative approach, four focus groups were carried out with 24 people managers, and interviews with four union representatives in cities at three regions in Brazil: Northeast (Fortaleza, CE), South, (Joinville, SC) and Central-West (Brasília, DF). The findings indicate knowledge gaps in the HRM areas about market and labor relations, similar HRM practices at different levels, institutionalized by a common repertoire; while the unions adapt to the new labor legislation. The pandemic context brought structural changes such as telework, adjustment to legislation and work organization; and behavioral including the health of workers. The study contributes theoretically by expanding the analysis of HRM under the institutional approach; methodologically it provides comparative research; a...
