Summary/Abstract: Flexibility of the labour market and employment in atypical forms has been indicated for years as a potential source of more effective competition. However, both types of flexibility constitute important changes for employees that cause concern in terms of employment security. In this context, the aim of the research was to determine opinions about the advantages and disadvantages of employment in atypical forms. The research was carried out in a chain of pharmacies and among paramedics, i.e. in entities where flexible employment constitutes the basic employment relationship. In the respondents’ opinion, there are more disadvantages than advantages of employment in flexible forms, and the main disadvantage of atypical work is employment insecurity.
