Employer of Record in Lithuania

An Employer of Record (EOR) in Lithuania provides a convenient solution for companies that want to hire local talent and expand their operations without establishing a legal entity in the country. 

Lithuania has a complex set of EU and Lithuanian employment laws that employers must adhere to. Any non-compliance can result in hefty fines and penalties. Additionally, the Lithuanian Ministry of Health and State Social Insurance Fund Board (SODRA) regulations oversee employee benefits like maternity and paternity benefits, pensions, insurance, etc. EORs familiar with these laws can help you navigate the complexities easily. Gloroots Lithuania EOR can also help you comply with the strict GDPR and Lithuania’s Personal Data Protection Law regulations. Non-compliance with these laws can result in fines as high as EUR 20,000,000.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.

Separation

Termination Process:

The notification of termination must be presented in written form, encompassing details such as the rationale behind the termination, the legal grounds supporting the decision, and the precise date of termination.

In the case of terminating a fixed-term contract, employers may do so for various reasons, including business-related factors, personal considerations, or instances of worker misconduct. However, it is essential to provide notice and furnish a written explanation justifying the termination.

When dismissing an employee due to misconduct, it is customary to issue a prior warning and afford the employee an opportunity to present their perspective and provide an explanation for their actions.

Notice Period

In Lithuania, the customary notice period is 30 days for all employees who have completed at least one year of service. For employees with less than one year of service, the notice period is two weeks.

In cases where employees have less than five years remaining until they reach the statutory pension age, the notice period is doubled.

Additionally, the notice period may be subject to extension in certain circumstances. This includes situations where the employee is caring for a child under the age of 14, caring for a disabled child under the age of 18, or if the employee is entitled to receive retirement pension within the next two years.

Severance Pay

For employees with less than 12 months of service, the entitlement to severance pay is equivalent to half of their average monthly salary. In the case of employees who have served between one and 20 years, the severance pay entitlement is set at two months of salary. However, for those employees who have completed a remarkable 20 years of service, the entitlement increases to six months of salary. The calculation of severance pay is based on the average salary figure earned by the employee.

Probation Periods

In Lithuania, probation periods are not obligatory, but it is a common practice to have a standard probation period of three months.
