The purpose of this article is to determine the impact of the legal figure of the special emerging contract, provided for in Article 19 of the Organic Law of Humanitarian Support to Combat the Health Crisis derived from COVID-19, on labor relations in Ecuador. Such contractual figure was created as a result of the current economic crisis in the country, which was aggravated by the COVID-19 pandemic, which hit not only the physical and psychological health of citizens, but also the economy nationwide. In this situation, the employers, in this case, of the private sector, adopted agreements with the workers, in order to modify, make more flexible or even terminate the labor relationship, thus the figure of the Special Emerging Contract arises, whose legal concession and practical application, after observation, can be questioned in several ways. The present work is supported within an eminently qualitative investigation relying on the methods: logical historical and synthetic analytical.
