Globalization and new technologies performed the development of the business universe. This evolution has made the old systems of business organization of labor work to be transformed, also emerging new forms of conflicts involving personality rights of the employee, in particular because of monitoring and new forms of employer control. At the same time that the constitutional right of privacy in the labor environment is applied, the management power and the property rights of the employer may not be dissociate from the employment relationship. In the same way that the direction power cannot justify the disres-pect to worker’s privacy, the guarantee of fundamental rights cannot be used to enable the commitment of irregularities by the employee. In this article, therefore, the aim was to present a study about the right to privacy of the employee as well as an analysis of the direction power of the employer, demonstrating, based on the doctrine and jurisprudence, some assumptions in the solution of conflicts involving the realization of frisks on workers, the use of video cameras and surveillance in the workplace and monitoring of electronic mail.
