Sažetak
Due to advances in technology, for the purpose of employment and the exercise of rights and obligations arising from employment, more and more personal data of workers becomes available to employers and third parties. Due to the fact that this can lead to a violation of privacy in labor relations, the paper analyzes the problem of balance between the worker's right to respect for private and family life, home and correspondence on the one hand, and the employer's interest to protect his rights on the other hand. In particular, this paper describes the rules governing the protection of workers' privacy and the conditions that allow surveillance in the workplace, through the views of legal theory and court practice. The paper analyzes situations in which the use of surveillance devices leads to a violation of workers' privacy and when materials obtained in such a way can be used as evidence in court proceedings. The authors conclude that employers are obliged to apply legal regulations that protect the privacy and personal data of employees, and emphasize the need to determine measures for the necessary surveillance of employees. In addition, they emphasize the need to clearly define the extent to which worker's supervision is required and to set specific criteria for the surveillance to be considered legitimate and justified, all for the purpose of balancing supervision measures in the workplace and workers' private lives.
