The article addresses the issue of providing the employer with personal data regarding disability by employees. Regulations for personal data protection, labour law and those related to the legal status of disabled persons were analyzed.

The Personal Data Protection Act of 10 May 2018 (J.L. of 2018 Item 1000) introduced new provisions to the Labour Code, art. 22² and 22³, specifying the rules on employee monitoring. These regulations are groundbreaking, as so far the issue has not been, in principle, the subject of interest of the Polish legislator. Particular attention was paid to the employee’s official email control, although there are some objections to the adopted regulations. The article contains an analysis of regulations regarding the mentioned form of monitoring.
