Summary/Abstract: In this paper we give a theoretical review and the development of the legal framework which regulates psychological harassment on the workplace (mobbing) in the Republic of Macedonia, as well as relevant EU regulation. We did a detailed analysis of the legal framework in the Republic of Macedonia which regulates the mechanism for protection and prevention of psychological harassment on the workplace. For the purposes of this paper we conducted an empirical study in the period of September 2009 till august 2013, and measured the level of legal implementation of the amendments to the Law on Employment Relations adopted in September 2009 which were supposed to improve legal protection and prevention of mobbing.
