The objective of this research was to find the effects on the work of the MSMEs due to the COVID 19 pandemic. The case analyzed was a national footwear company and its suppliers were asked how it affected the company, in its employment as well as in their physical and emotional health due the pandemic issues caused by COVID 19. Four dimensions were analyzed based on the questionnaire issued by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) on the pandemic this 2020 year. Interesting data was found in the industry of the Leather-Footwear sector, such as the fact that most of the companies did have direct impact affectation, in addition to the fact that micro companies suffered an impact on salaries, layoffs, as well as the lack of attention to data of mental health that have been caused by the COVID 19 pandemic.
