Summary/Abstract: The effects of the coronavirus pandemic did not leave the world of work untouched. In the new circumstances, challenges and tasks that had previously been widely debated came to the fore. Among these, we can list the issues of working time and rest time, and consequently the work–life balance or sometimes imbalance of the employees. As a result of the pandemic, some processes that have been observed in labour law for a long time have been accelerated. In our opinion, the particularity of the current situation is based on the considerable size of digitalization, the use of new technologies in work, and the widespread use of atypical labour relations, which had a major impact on the solutions that were chosen to countervail the effects of the pandemic.
