	The purpose of this dissertation is to analyze the changes of carrying out and storing employee documentation, which have been in force starting from January 1st, 2019. The implemented changes not only make it possible to carry out the documentation in an electronic form, but they also modify the employer’s rights in the scope of employee documentation storage. One of the most important changes is the shortening of the employee documentation storage from 50 to 10 years, starting from the end of the calendar year, in which the employment relationship was terminated or ended, unless separate regulations specify a longer storage period. New regulations of the labour code and the ordinance of December 10th, 2018 on employee documentation specify the rules pertaining to how to carry out and store employee documentation, among other things regulate the questions connected with issuing copies of employee documentation, picking up the documentation after the period of its storage had lapsed by persons entitled to do it as well as issues related to employee documentation destruction in the case it was not picked up.
