Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to identify the prospects for the transition to electronic workbooks, based on world practices in the legal regulation of their use, and the problems of such a transition. The article analyses the practice of using electronic labour books and electronic document management in labour relations in various countries, raises the problems of using digital technologies in labour relations, and explores the feasibility of introducing an electronic work registry book. Based on the analysis of world practices, the positive and negative sides of the electronic workbook are examined, the issues of the gradual transition to electronic workbooks and the consequences of the abolition of the traditional workbook are highlighted. We conclude that there is a need for legal revision in the field of electronic document management in the field of labour relations.
