A guide on Labour law and social media

Ius Laboris, an alliance of leading HRlaw practitioners, prepared this guide to provide employers, particularly those with multi-national operations, with a basic understanding of the legal framework in 24 countries, affecting an employer's ability to collect information about applicants and employees from social mdia, to monitor employees' use of social media, and to use information obtained through those efforts to make employment-related decisions.
For each country surveyed, the guide provides information on six subject areas that are critical for employers trying to navigate the intersection of social media and the workplace: use by employees; use by employers; employers access; private and public information; consents and works council rights, data protection officers.
