By adapting the provisions of the Labour Code to EU regulations on personal data protection, the legislator has explicitly allowed employers to process personal data of employees and applicants for employment on the basis of their consent. However, the new provisions exclude the processing of data on convictions on this basis and limit the possibility of giving effective consent to the processing of sensitive data. The article attempts to analyze the solutions adopted in the context of the constitutional guarantee of informational self-determination. The author defends the thesis that the provisions of Article 221a § 1 and Article 221b § 1 of the Labour Code disproportionately interfere with an individual’s right to dispose of data concerning him or her. These provisions do not meet the criterion of the intervention’s necessity. The protective goal of the regulation, as established by the legislator, may be achieved by means of the legal instruments indicated in the article, which do not undermine the freedom aspect of the informational self-determination.
