Abstract

This paper deals with legislation and case law regulating social media in the workplace. It analyzes
mainly privacy’s limits for selection procedures, working time and dismissals in three Central European states,such as the Czech Republic, Poland or Slovakia. Although there are common general principles like an employees’first and last task is to render services on behalf of his/her employer and do not misuse employer’s devices to private purposes courts’ decision varies. Alike action is considered in one state to be legal, in another illegal.
