The blockchain is a novel technology that fulfils a process of recording transactions and tracking assets in a secure and transparent manner, thereby reducing potential risks and costs for stakeholders. Its structure is decentralised, allowing for an immutable record over time.
This technology is beginning to enter the field of labour management because, although at first they may seem to be divergent issues, the need for more efficient and transparent processes has accelerated its momentum and operability.
In general terms, this technology has been used for staff recruitment, identity management, payroll automation, talent development and evaluation, time recording and even absence or holiday processing.
However, beyond the advantages of this technology –which is undeniable–, there are certain aspects that deserve a special reflection on its impact on the decarbonisation of employment, possible justice gaps and privacy-related issues, which we will focus on in this study to answer the question of whether its implementation is interesting.
