rights have a special place. Criminal Law of the Republic of Srpska also recognizes several criminal off enses whose regulations
protect these two social values. On the other hand, labor legislation together with the associated misdemeanor
legislation, through a special system of misdemeanor off enses and sanctions for those off enses, also protect the rights of
employees arising from employment, as well as their other rights. This paper deals with the concept, features, and characteristics
of these off enses and misdemeanors determined by the applicable Labor Law of the Republic of Srpska.
