EMPLOYMENT

The labor market changes daily on a local as well as international level, and thus labor relations and employment go through a dynamic process of development and adjustments. Practice in Bosnia and Herzegovina has shown that current labor laws cannot fully regulate the wide range of labor relations that occur in everyday business activities, so the solution to overcome certain challenges often needs to be sought in special laws such as the law on occupational safety, the law on strikes, the law on pension and disability insurance, the law on contributions etc., but also in the laws that regulate certain branches such as education, health, science, culture, etc.
