This study examines the ethical boundaries of the digitalisation of work and the need to protect human autonomy in the digital working environment. It offers a doctrinal analysis aimed at delineating the limits of permissible technological intervention in access to employment, the performance of work duties, digital employer monitoring, and the protection of personal space and time. Human autonomy is identified as a unifying ethical standard encompassing contractual, professional, informational, spatial, and temporal dimensions. On the basis of the analysis, the study systematises principles intended to safeguard human dignity, professional autonomy, and the possibility of human intervention in and contestation of automated decisions. It also proposes guidelines for implementing these principles through internal employer rules and mechanisms within the digitalised working environment.
