However, during the Covid-19 pandemic, which resulted in workers being terminated from their employment relationship, their rights were not fully granted or even not granted, because employers experienced losses in their business due to government regulations regarding Social Restrictions. This literature review aims to analyses government policies regarding the rights of workers who experience layoffs and educate the public about their rights in this regard. To protect workers who have lost their jobs, resulting in the loss of a source of livelihood for them and their families, the Government has issued several policies to protect workers, including Pre-Employment Cards, Incentives and Cash-Intensive Programs through the Village Head. Thus, it is hoped that workers will be helped to get new jobs independently or work for other companies according to the skills obtained from job training provided by the government.
