The paper deals with the impact of economic crisis on employment in selected business entities, which have a great importance for the economy of each country. The paper analyzed the impact of the crisis on enterprises and the economy as well as employment measures to reduce the impact of the crisis. Based on these analyzes and inventive techniques have been proposed measures which can be an inspiration for enterprises in Slovakia, as well as to the Government of the Slovak Republic.
