Toku's Lithuania employment guide covering payroll (monthly, EUR), leave entitlements (20 days annual), working hours (40/week), public holidays, statutory benefits through Sodra, and how to resign or get support.

๐Ÿ‘‹ Welcome to Toku. Toku is your Employer of Record (EOR) in Lithuania. We employ you through the appropriate local Toku entity and manage the compliance, HR, payroll, and benefits administration connected to your employment. Your day-to-day work, goals, and role direction continue to come from the organization you support.

Your employment at a glance

๐Ÿ“„ Your signed employment agreement governs your individual terms, including pay, working hours, probation, notice, and any custom arrangements. Mandatory local law also applies. If this guide and your agreement appear different, contact Toku before relying on the summary.

Pay schedule and payroll changes

You are normally paid monthly, on the last business day of the month. The standard monthly cutoff for payroll changes is generally the 10th, but the exact cutoff can vary by country and organization. Check the Toku: 2026 and 2027 Payroll Calendar and Deadlines or contact Toku before relying on a specific date.

You will receive a payslip for each payroll cycle showing your gross pay, required deductions, and net pay. Keep your bank, tax, and personal information current in Toku, and notify us promptly if anything changes.

Your employment terms and probation

  • Toku issues a compliant local employment agreement for every hire, signed and registered before the employee's first day as Lithuanian law requires.
  • Indefinite-term contracts are the default. Fixed-term contracts are capped at 2 years for permanent work (5 years in specific circumstances).
  • Probation may be up to 3 months, the statutory maximum. During probation, either party may end the contract with 3 working days' written notice and no severance.

Working hours and overtime

Your normal working hours are stated in your signed employment agreement and may vary by role, schedule, or applicable collective agreement. Toku does not expect routine overtime. Do not work overtime or additional hours unless your manager has approved them in advance. Any overtime or additional-hours treatment follows your signed agreement and mandatory local law.

Leave entitlements

โ„น๏ธ Your employment agreement, Toku HRIS leave balance, and applicable local rules determine your exact entitlement. Contact Toku if the information shown in your account does not match your agreement or this guide.

Additional Toku benefits

In Lithuania, Toku's standard supplemental benefit is Remote Health by SafetyWing. Review ๐ŸŒ Global Coverage: Remote Health by SafetyWing for current availability, coverage, eligibility, enrollment, and support information.

Stablecoin payroll and token grants

Where permitted by local law and enabled for your organization, Toku can support token grant administration and allow you to elect to receive a portion of your net pay in stablecoins. Availability depends on your country, your organization's program, and your individual compensation arrangements. These options are not guaranteed components of every employment package.

If stablecoin payroll is available to you, see Toku: Stablecoin Payroll Set Up. For token grant questions, use the Toku: Contact our Team for Support! to reach the Token Grant Administration team.

Annual tax documents

You can request a certificate of payments and income tax withheld from payroll@toku.com. The employer must provide it within 10 working days of receiving your request. Toku will arrange it and upload the employer-issued copy to Documents within that statutory period. This is request-based, so there is no automatic annual upload date. Employer tax reporting to VMI is separate from delivery of your certificate. See VMI's guidance on certificates for individuals.

Leaving Toku: resigning

Giving notice

Send a formal resignation letter to Toku, your legal employer, by uploading it to your Toku Documents or emailing customer-success@toku.com. Notify your manager too, and follow your signed employment agreement's notice period and any local signature or delivery requirements. Toku will help confirm the employment end date and any additional formalities.

Documents and final payroll

You will receive formal offboarding/termination documentation through DocuSign, with a copy uploaded to Documents. It will explain the applicable departure terms and final-pay arrangements. Review it and contact Toku if anything is unclear. Toku does not send a separate personalized general offboarding email; watch for DocuSign and any required documents delivered separately by Toku or the local provider.

Other documents: If a new employer or public authority needs a particular employment or earnings certificate, send its requirements to Toku so we can arrange the applicable document with the local provider.

Benefits when you leave

Benefits are managed by external carriers and providers. You may receive an email from each provider and/or see your coverage status updated in its portal or app. Confirm your exact coverage end date, dependent coverage, any continuation options, and relevant deadlines directly with the provider. Do not assume that coverage ends on your final working day or continues automatically.

For Remote Health coverage, check SafetyWing's communications or your member account. Review ๐ŸŒ Global Coverage: Remote Health by SafetyWing for your plan and contacts. Toku coordinates the employer-side offboarding; contact us if you need help resolving a missing or unclear provider update.

Your Toku account

You will retain access to your Toku account and employment documents after leaving. For help updating your email, resetting your password, or changing 2FA, email customer-success@toku.com.

How to get help

Toku is your employer and your first point of contact for employment support. For payroll, payslips, statutory deductions, or payroll tax documents, email payroll@toku.com. For benefits support, email benefits@toku.com. For leave, employment documents, immigration, or other employment matters, use Toku: Contact our Team for Support! to reach the right team.

Important

This guide is a general summary and does not replace your signed employment agreement, Toku policies, benefit plan documents, or applicable law. Your exact entitlements may vary based on your work location, tenure, role, collective agreement, or individual terms. Where there is a conflict, the applicable law and binding employment documents control.
