ECOVIS ProventusLaw recommendations on the new Labour Code in Lithuania

Posted: 10/11/2016 (Last updated: 02/02/2026)

Lithuanian Parliament has adopted a new Labour Code of the Republic of Lithuania on 14^th September 2016. The Labour Code will enter into force from 1^st January 2017 (if the effective date is not postponed). The main aim of new legislation is to liberalise work regulation and pursue more flexible relations between the employers and the employees.

On the basis that the new Labour Code is already adopted, employers should already start reviewing company documentation and start amending them according to the provision of the new Labour Code.

ECOVIS ProventusLaw will advise on how to adapt business processes in order to comply with the latest regulatory changes related to the non-competition, confidential information and personal data.

Frequently Asked Questions

Postponement of the auditor’s visit during a tax audit

My company has just received a notice of accounting audit. I would like to change the date of the controller’s first visit to our premises. Is this possible?

Absolutely. You can indeed request the postponement of this first on-site intervention. But to do this, you must quickly formulate your request in writing. And be careful, the tax authorities are not obliged to accept it. Your request can only be accepted if the reasons you invoke seem serious. This may be the case, for example, if your accountant is absent or if your company is closed due to holidays. Generally, if it accepts your request, the administration informs you of the new date by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt, and not by a corrected verification notice.
