o:9735 Personal data protection in employment law en Abstract: The field of employment law is largely intertwined with the protection of personal data, given that a large amount of personal data is processed within the process of candidate selection and employment. The Employment Law of the Republic of Serbia is not fully harmonized with the Legal Act on Personal Data Protection, and the relationship between these two laws is very important for the aforementioned issues. All companies have databases of job candidates and employees. In the first case, these are only persons who can potentially conclude a contract with the employer, but in the second phase, it is the base of employees who already have employment contracts with the employer. With extensive databases, come the issues of protection and storage of personal data of job candidates and employees of the employer. Employment law is faced with new challenges. One of those challenges is establishing best practices, and creatively solving practical issues related to the processing of personal data. Keywords: Personal data, protection of personal data, employment law, employees, IT law. 1552100 978-86-82408-29-1 2026-06-04T12:37:20.819Z 44 yes 46 Dejan Logarušić University of Business Academy, Faculty of Law for Commerce and Judiciary in Novi Sad, Serbia 0000-0001-9782-9277 Denis Tul University of Business Academy, Faculty of Law for Commerce and Judiciary in Novi Sad, Serbia person Jovan Vlaški Master of Law, Faculty of Law in Kragujevac, Serbia person application/pdf 848371 https://unilib.phaidrabg.rs/o:9735 no yes 1 70 92000004 211A01 Proceedings of the Fourth International Scientific Conference "Challenges of Modern Economy and Society through the Prism of Green Economy and Sustainable Development" – CESGED 2024 4 428 445 Faculty of Economics and Engineering Management – FIMEK i Educational and Business Center for Development of Human Resources, Management and Sustainable Development 2024
