Summary: Biometric controls are common in the XXI Century working places. This technology has become reliable, efficient and cheap; consequently, these controls have become ubiquitous in both private and public employers. Nevertheless, this use raises concerns about potential violations of employees’ rights, such as privacy and human dignity. This paper will analyze the normative framework in force regulating the use of these controls. Its purpose is to highlight the main features of this regulation, focusing on both employers’ and employees’ rights and obligations. In particular, some attention will be paid to the role of collective bargaining in the construction of an adequate regulation of biometric controls. There are two main hypothesis. The first one is that, notwithstanding its widespread use in contemporary working places, there is little knowledge about its legal implication. The second is that these controls expresses the essential contradictions that the construction of a Digital Labour Law is creating, due to the interaction of two areas of the legal system, which show profound differences among them.
