The author addresses the issues and challenges related to the protection of employees' rights to privacy in the modern information society. The use of information and communication technologies (ICT) in the workplace facilitates the collection, storage and processing of employees and job applicants' personal data, thus contributing to business efficiency, but it also facilitates various violations of privacy of employees and employers alike. In this article, the author analyzes some aspects of employees' right to privacy as envisaged in the international law instruments. The analysis is aimed at examining the methods and instruments for the collection and protection of personal data, as well as the procedure in case of any violation of privacy rights. In that context, the author particularly focuses on the issues pertaining to the supervision of employees' business correspondence, video surveillance in the workplace, monitoring employees through performance tests, etc. The author believes that prospective solutions in the legislation of the Republic of Serbia may be based on and perceived through the most important international sources in the field of protecting employees' privacy rights.
Key words:

MEĐUNARODNI STANDARDI U OBLASTI ZAŠTITE PRAVA NA PRIVATNOST ZAPOSLENIH
U ovom radu autor se bavi pitanjima i izazovima vezanim za zaštitu prava zaposlenih na privatnost u modernom informatičkom društvu. Upotreba komunikacionih i informacionih tehnologija na radnom mestu omogućava olakšano sakupljanje, skladištenje i obradu podataka o ličnosti zaposlenih, kao i kandidata za zaposlenje, i time doprinosi efikasnosti u procesu poslovanja ali takođe predstavlja i mogućnost za različite povrede privatnosti zaposlenih ali i poslodavaca. Ovom prilikom će biti analizirani određeni aspekti zaštite prava na privatnost zaposlenih, na međunarodnom planu. Analiza je usmerena u smeru načina za prikupljanje i zaštitu podataka o ličnosti kao i postupak u slučaju povrede prava na privatnost, te pitanja nadzora nad zaposlenima u smislu uvida u sadržaj poslovne korespondencije, video nadzora na samom radnom mestu, nadzora putem testiranja zaposlenih, itd. Autor smatra da se kroz prizmu najznačajnijih međunarodnih izvora koji se tiču zaštite privatnosti zaposlenih, mogu sagledati i usmeriti buduća rešenja zakonodavstva Republike Srbije.
