Labor Law
Both individual and collective labors relations play an important role in the labor relation system. Bilateral (individual) labor relations are more common in the Republic of Lithuania. Individual labor relations are bilateral labor relations, which arise on employment contract basis. Labor relations are governed by the Labor Code and other legislation of the Republic of Lithuania.

Collective contract of a company is a written agreement between employer and employees’ collective of a company on work, wages, and other social as well as economical conditions. The parties of such contract are employees’ collective of a company and employer, represented by the union, operating in the company, and company manager or authorized officeholders of administration. In a collective contract the parties establish work related, professional, social, and economic conditions as well as guarantees, which are not governed by the laws, other standard legal acts, or national, branch, and territorial collective contract, or which are not against them and do not aggravate the employees’ status. Company’s collective contract is drawn in companies, institutions, and organizations of any type.
The order of preparation, registration, and storage of employment related documents is basically established by the Minister of Social Security and Labor (www.socmin.lt or www.vdi.lt).
