Summary/Abstract: The article discusses changes in the labour law in connection with globalization, automation , civilization and technological development, especially against the background of new forms of employment: „ICT based work”, „crowdworking”. It was also considered whether the use of new technologies by the employer or the future employer, including in the scope of background screening (including credit and criminal check), acquisition and use of biometric data, application of radio frequency identification technology (RFID) by implanting a chip for employee control or organizational processes improvement at the employer, does not constitute abuse of the subjective right to privacy and does not violate dignity. The above was referred to the General Data Protection Regulation of 27.04.2016 (GDPR) and related changes in the Labour Code. To determine whether new technologies will revolutionize the labour market the question was asked: are there occupations that are at risk of being forced out of the labour market due to the automation of work, and contrarily – are there professions of the future.
