Lithuania — Labour Code (EURES living & working) ↗

Lithuania's standard week is 40 hours. Overtime is paid at at least +50% (1.5×), rising for night, weekend and public-holiday work.

  • Overtime is paid at at least +50% of the regular hourly wage.
  • Higher rates apply for night and weekend work (+100%) and public holidays (+200%).
  • Overtime may not exceed 8 hours a week (or 12 with consent) and 180 hours a year.

This applies the +50% rate for regular overtime; night, weekend and holiday work is higher. A collective agreement can set a higher rate.

Frequently asked questions

Is overtime pay the same across the EU?

No. The EU Working Time Directive sets shared limits — an average 48-hour maximum week (including overtime), minimum daily and weekly rest, and paid leave — but it does not set overtime pay rates. Premiums are decided nationally, and in several countries by collective agreement rather than statute.

How is overtime paid in Lithuania?

In Lithuania, overtime above 40 hours a week is paid at a statutory premium of 50%. Higher rates can apply for night, Sunday and public-holiday work. See the rules below for the exact figures.

Can a collective agreement change the overtime rate?

Yes. In most EU countries a sector or company collective agreement can set overtime rates above the statutory minimum, or replace premium pay with compensatory time off. Always check the agreement that applies to your role.
