Summary/Abstract: In the labour legislation of the Republic of Srpska (as well as FBiH and BD BiH legislation) there is no lex specialis that directly and comprehensively regulates the issue of abuse at work. In legal terms, however, abuse at work can be viewed from the aspect of constitutional, civil, criminal and legal norms of our positive law. Such fragmentation in the legal regulation of mobbing is insufficient and incomplete for expressing the unlawfulness and dimensions of this social phenomenon and does not provide adequate protection for victims of abuse at work. Considering the fact that the positive labour legislation of the Republic of Srpska in relation to abuse at work does not provide adequate protection to victims of abuse, the author concludes that the issue of abuse at work in domestic law is necessary to be regulated by a special regulation, modeled on the law of the Republic of Serbia, in order to create the conditions necessary for establishing a healthy and safe working environment.
