Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) has a very complex structure. It consists of two separate entities – the Federation of BiH (FBiH) and the Republic of Srpska (RS) – and one special autonomous district under the direct sovereignty of the state, the Brčko District of BiH (BD). As employment matters are regulated at entity/district level, BiH has three applicable employment legislations and each part of BiH has its own employment law, meaning that one particular matter can be regulated differently in each part, depending on an employee's place of work.
