Global Employer of Record in Lithuania

What Is a Global Employer of Record in Lithuania?

A Global Employer of Record may be the answer if you’re looking for a way to protect your business from employment liability and compliance risks in Lithuania. This legal entity can take on the employment risk for you, freeing you up to focus on your business objectives. The EORs offer flexible price models, with terms based on the number of employees. There’s no limit to project duration or employee number.

With a talented workforce, Europe is the best location for global companies to expand their operations and innovate cutting-edge technologies. Lithuania offers unique incentives to businesses in this space, but it’s often hard for international employers to navigate its labor laws and successfully recruit top talent. In response to these challenges, an Employer of Record offers a new way of hiring workers abroad.

Employers often find themselves in a difficult position when expanding globally. To comply with local laws, they often need to establish a legal entity in the country where they are expanding. This process can be costly and time-consuming, making many businesses hesitate before taking on the challenge. Fortunately, there is a Global Employer of Record solution available that can help simplify the process.

To help your organization legally onboard and payroll a workforce in Lithuania, Acumen International offers a global employment solution that circumvents the legalities of direct hiring. Our global employer of record services provides a range of additional services like medical insurance, cars, laptops, and technology, so you can easily manage your personnel across multiple countries.

When You Should Use a Global Employer of Record

1. Using Global EORs to Explore and Evaluate International Markets

The process of exploring a new market can be lengthy and expensive, but some options can help you to get a quick read on the potential demand for your products and services.

A Global Employer of Record is a great way to test the readiness of an international market for your products or services. Hiring workers via Global EOR in target countries, including Lithuania, allow you to get a feel for the market without committing time and resources to set up a local entity. This is a great way to gauge interest and potential demand before making a major investment.

Companies often use EORs for temporary workers who may need to work in multiple locations during their contract period. For example, suppose you’re an IT company looking for temporary help in another office. In that case, you might hire an employee through an EOR to fill that spot without worrying about payroll, benefits, or local tax and compliance issues.

2. Leveraging Short-term Employee Engagements

Although Lithuania offers companies several advantages when expanding their business, many business owners find setting up a Lithuanian company time-consuming and difficult. Alternative solutions, such as working with a Global Employer of Record (EOR), offer a more streamlined approach that eliminates some of the hassles involved in establishing a legal entity. The EOR will take on all tax and regulatory obligations on behalf of your company, ensuring that operations run smoothly without any unnecessary delays. By engaging a global EOR, you can also avoid additional expenses associated with running a foreign subsidiary, such as consultancy fees, office space, and equipment rentals.

Partnering with an Employer of Record, you will retain complete control over your employees and business operations while benefitting from substantial cost savings and avoiding non-compliance risk.

3. An EOR (Employer of Record) Allows You to Onboard the Best Talent Faster

As the global economy continues to strengthen, many companies are searching for ways to decrease costs and increase efficiency. One solution is to outsource employment overseas, which can be risky and complex. Employers of Record (EORs), on the other hand, allow you to hire talent from any location without needing an entity. This makes it a clean and compliant option with global regulations.

4. Converting Freelancers into Employees

The workforce has become increasingly mobile and diverse in today’s global workplace.n recent years, many businesses started using a flexible workforce (freelancers for short). While these independent contractors can benefit companies in terms of cost control and flexibility, some drawbacks should not be overlooked. One key concern is the high turnover rate—which plays a big role in the misclassification of employees. This puts organizations at risk of owing back taxes and benefits — which could lead to painful penalties.

For freelancers, the world of employment is changing as governments reclassify independent contractors. Not only may they owe income tax on their earnings, but they could also lose access to worker benefits such as sick leave and holiday pay. The UK made headlines by introducing IR35 legislation, which aims to modernize employment status designations – ensuring that “workers that would be classified as an employee if they were contracted directly” pay the same Income Tax and National Insurance contributions.

As more and more countries enact employment legislation to address the misclassification of workers, it is becoming increasingly crucial for businesses to ensure that they comply with these laws. An Employer of Record company can help you retain the talent you need and support you in your long-term workforce legal employment in Lithuania, including during any transition period and with any necessary HR processes.

Is Global Employer of Record Legal in Lithuania?

It is legal to hire employees in other countries through an EOR. However, not all global EORs are created equal. Some may be more compliant than others when it comes to local regulations. Before working with an EOR, do your research to find one that is reliable and has a high compliance rate.

Difference between an EOR and a PEO. Global Employment Risk Mitigation

Both PEOs and EORs work differently. However, an EOR is a company that takes on the legal risks of employing your workers, including finance, legal & compliance, and safety risks, saving you from any potential problems down the line. This means that all of the responsibilities that come with being an employer are shifted to them — from tax reporting to handling any injuries or issues on the job. You’ll have none of these hassles but will take responsibility for managing your employees’ tasks and performance.
