The Slovak v the Danish Labor Law Approach to COVID 19 Pandemic

Abstract

Summary The corona virus pandemic affects the functioning of all states. It intervenes in various areas of life, and it is employment relations that we can consider to be the area with the most negative impact. The Slovak Republic is dealing with pandemic in terms of labor law with partial amendments to the Labor Code and a hybrid form of short time working (kurzarbeit). We therefore decided to point out the shortcomings of the legislation in the Slovak Republic as well as to propose solutions that would help alleviate rising unemployment but also adjust the labor market to the demand for modern and flexible forms of work. We also analyzed measures that were chosen by the Kingdom of Denmark to suppress the consequences of the pandemic and, in our opinion, were of a sustainable nature and met the requirements of the labor market subjects.
