ABSTRACT
The rapid progress of information and communication technologies increases the importance of the protection of personal data in employment relationship. Furthermore, these technologies, which enable the processing of personal data in employment relationship, are now used in a much less costly yet more intrusive manner than before, and have led to the widespread monitoring of applicants and workers in and out of the workplace. Although these monitoring practices are carried out in a variety of ways, only the ones based on electronic and biometric entrance control systems, electronic positioning systems and social media usage are evaluated in this article due to their transformative effects on the employment relationship and the fact that they are subject to a small amount of research in Turkey. These three practices were examined within the scope of labour law and data protection law legislation by taking into account judicial and international instruments and it is aimed to present fair, effective and comprehensive proposals with the potential to raise awareness for both applicants and workers, and employers
