I.3 LABOUR LAW, CORPORATE LAW, SPORTS REGULATION Surveillance Monitoring at the Workplace: Tools and Effects

Summary/Abstract: The digitalisation of work is accompanied by an increase in data-driven work organisation and workplace information asymmetries, as employers increasingly use algorithmic management tools for monitoring and tracking, from recruitment to termination of employment. These technologies have created opaque control mechanisms, particularly on digital work platforms, to which the EU legislator has responded with a directive aimed at improving working conditions in platform work, including establishing minimum standards to enhance transparency and human control over algorithmic management. The study asks whether the legal-protection differentiation between platform work and ‘traditional’ workplaces is sustainable if digital surveillance and monitoring systems can functionally achieve the same employer management and control objectives.
