Employing in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Provisions for employee protections and workers’ rights are spelled out in the Bosnian Constitution as well as several government statutes, such as the Labour Law of 1999, and the Employment Law of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Employees in Bosnia and Herzegovina generally enjoy protection against discrimination based on age and race.

Common questions that could come up during the hiring process include the minimum wage, overtime rates, and guaranteed paid time off. Remote can help you offer a complete, competitive, and compliant benefits package to your employees in Bosnia.

Onboarding time

We can help you get a new employee started in Bosnia & Herzegovina fast. The minimum onboarding time we need is only 7 working days.

Our team ensures your employees are onboarded and paid as quickly as possible while keeping your business compliant with all local employment legislation. The minimum onboarding time begins after the employee submits all required information onto the Remote platform. The onboarding timeline is also dependent upon registration with local authorities.

For all non-nationals of the country of employment, the Right to Work assessment (if applicable) will add three extra days to the total time to onboard. There may be extra time required if we need to follow-up on the right to work assessment.

Please note, payroll cut-off dates can impact the actual first day of employment. Remote has a payroll cut-off date of the 10th of the month unless otherwise specified.

Facts & Stats

Bosnia and Herzegovina is a republic in Southeast Europe that’s home to the continent’s last remaining jungle, a population obsessed with bosanska kafa — Bosnian coffee, and the world’s only lunar clock.

The newly formed heart-shaped nation is based on liberal policies that have contributed to strong economic growth in agriculture and a burgeoning service industry.

Currently, the nation’s politics has it split into three constituent republics: the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (FBiH), Republika Srpska (RS), and Brčko District, so our guide to employing in Bosnia will often feature three different sets of policies in force for the districts across the nation.
