Creating and managing payroll in Lithuania
Since leaving joining the European Union in the early 20th Century, Lithuania’s economy has grown dramatically and is now one of the strongest in the region. As such, Lithuania has become a popular country for foreign businesses to expand, and there are many opportunities for any organization willing to make the transition.
An important step in setting up a business in Lithuania is likely to be hiring staff and setting up a payroll. However, with the country’s unique set of employment laws and administrative procedures, hiring and establishing a payroll in Lithuania can be a difficult process. It can take longer than expected to get up and running, leading to a potential loss of income.
Horizons offers a flexible range of payroll outsourcing services for organizations expanding into Lithuania. Our experts can handle all the legal compliance work, taxes, and payroll-related administration, even acting as your employer of record in the country, making the whole expansion process more efficient and helping you get up and running faster.
