Lithuania

Employees in Lithuania work eight hours daily, 40 hours weekly. 

Any overtime work is paid at the rate of 150% of the standard hourly salary. Overtime work cannot exceed:

• Eight hours per seven consecutive days
• 12 hours per seven consecutive days if the employee expresses their consent in writing

Probation periods are not legally required, but if offered, commonly last for three months. 

Non-compete agreements must be clear and reasonable in scope, and usually vary in duration between one and two years. In Lithuania, employees are also entitled to adequate monthly compensation for the entire duration of the agreement. The amount should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis depending on the extent of the restrictions.

An employee's salary during their work period cannot be part of the compensation for the non-compete agreement.

Employees in Lithuania are entitled to 20 days of annual leave, which may be taken in parts but not less than 14 days at a time.

Single parents of children under the age of 14 are entitled to 35 days of paid annual leave.

Employees in Lithuania are entitled to paid sick leave. Employers pay 80% to 100% of an employee's average salary for the first two days of sick leave. From the third day onwards, employees receive 62.06% of their salary from the State Social Insurance Fund Board.

To be eligible for paid sick leave, employees must have been covered by social insurance for at least three months during the last 12 months, or at least six months during the last 24 months.
