As a result, the average number of paid extra free days can be lower than the table shows.

The number of public holidays also varies: in Republika Srpska around 11, in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina around 10 and in Brčko District around 9.

A special provision[110] allows people who are in charge of disabled children or relatives to have more days of paid leave.

In some cases, the number of days granted depends on whether an employee works in the public or private sector.
