The author of the paper analyses the policies undertaken at a national level in the Macedonian legal and economic system that aim to deal with the problems and consequences of the virus. The paper analyses the measures and how they reflect on the basic labour rights and the already adopted labour standards. The author of the paper answers the essential question, which is whether, in the conditions of the spread of the virus, the state bodies that create policies are ready and to what extent to restrict the basic labour rights and international standards. This paper also provides guidance and scientifically predicts the future steps to be taken to transform and give a new role to the labour law in the coming years and decades. Key words: employment, rights, pandemic, labour policies. I.

One of the main secondary negative global side effects is the economic crisis or we could say an earthquake that happened in our country, as well as around the world. Namely, although the infection has started in China in November 2019, and according to some information even earlier, it still spreads rapidly worldwide, only to be declared a global outbreak by the World Health Organization (WHO) in February 2020. 1
