Lithuania Payroll Services & Solutions

Outsource your Lithuania payroll to Horizons, even if you don't have a Lithuanian entity

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.

Why choose the Horizons payroll solution?

If you have an entity

If your organization already has a registered entity in the country, then we can provide everything you need to build and run a Lithuania payroll. We will help you navigate the complex laws, establish your payroll, and handle any ongoing administration.

This service is an excellent choice for large-scale organizations and those looking to build a long-term presence in Lithuania.

If you don’t have an entity

If you haven’t established an entity in Lithuania, our dedicated Lithuanian subsidiary can work as your employees’ official employer of record. Our team will handle all of your payroll, contracts, associated legal work, and associated administration, helping you focus solely on a successful expansion.

This service is ideal for any organization aiming for full flexibility and low risk while expanding into Lithuania. You will remain autonomous and have full control over your Lithuanian workforce while not having to deal with any of the complex administration and compliance work.
