The role of the labour inspector in the control and supervision of the application of monitoring by the employer: “De lege lata” and “de lege ferenda” conclusions

Abstract

Due to the relatively short period of being in force of the provisions governing monitoring issues at the employer, the issues related to the supervision and control of this sphere of activities have not been discussed more widely in the literature on the subject so far. The author analyzes the provisions in question in terms of the possibility and scope of control of their compliance by the authorities of the National Labour Inspectorate. As part of the ongoing deliberations, he presents the types of legal remedies that can be used in the event of a labor inspector finding infringements of the provisions related to the use of monitoring and doubts related to it. De lege ferenda conclusions are also presented in order to quickly eliminate irregularities in this field and to carry out control more effectively.
