Employment
Entity labour acts with separate minimum wages
Employment law is set at entity level, so the Federation of BiH and Republika Srpska have separate Labour Acts, collective agreements and minimum wages. Both require a statutory ground and procedure for dismissal.
Key rules
- Each entity sets its own minimum wage by government decision.
- Dismissal requires a ground listed in the applicable entity Labour Act.
- General collective agreements can bind employers across an entity.
Governing law
- Labour Act of the Federation of BiH
- Labour Act of Republika Srpska
In practice
An employer with staff in both entities must run two different payroll and dismissal regimes in parallel.
