Summary/Abstract: The changing social and economic conditions of the XXI. century as well as the rapid technological development and the coronavirus pandemic have a significant impact on employment. Consequently, in order to maintain effective protection against new and emerging risks, appropriate legislative action is essential, which can create opportunities for employment law actors to adapt successfully to change. A particularly interesting area is the issue of addressing the psychosocial risk factors associated with the new forms of flexible forms of work online, which are nowadays taking on increasingly diverse forms, putting workers at increased risk. In this context, it is particularly important and questionable whether there is an appropriate balance between competitiveness and the enforcement of labour and social security law.
