Who is the best employer of record in Lithuania in 2026?

Teamed leads four of the six axes we scored: pricing transparency, Lithuania delivery and the depth behind it, the service model, and the path to your own Lithuanian entity. Teamed owns its Lithuania entity, so Lithuanian staff are employed directly, and it absorbs FX at zero markup on the fee. It concedes two axes outright. Deel and Rippling have the deeper platform, and several providers here hold current security certifications while Teamed's are aligned with accreditation in progress. Read the columns that matter to your hire.

What is Employer of record in Lithuania?

An employer of record in Lithuania is a company that legally employs your worker on your behalf, so you can hire in Lithuania without registering a local entity first. It signs the Lithuanian employment contract, runs local payroll, withholds and remits personal income tax and social insurance contributions to Sodra, the State Social Insurance Fund Board, and carries the employer obligations. You still choose the person, direct the work and manage them day to day.

Lithuania resolves most individual dismissal and pay disputes through a labour dispute committee sitting under the State Labour Inspectorate before a case can reach the ordinary courts, a mandatory pre-trial step most buyers evaluating an EOR have never heard of. That matters for the EOR relationship: the entity named on the employment contract is the party that sits in front of the committee, so the useful question is not whether a provider covers Lithuania, almost every provider on this page claims to, but whether Lithuania sits inside its own entity or a partner's. Ask each provider directly, in writing, before you sign.

Methodology

How we scored this comparison

Each provider is scored 1 to 5 on six Lithuania-focused axes. There's no weighted total and no overall winner, because different providers lead different columns. Teamed publishes this page and is scored on the same axes as the rest, conceding two of the six.

Pricing transparency
Whether the all-in cost of a hire is stated up front and stays predictable: the fee, the deposit, and anything charged at onboarding, offboarding or termination. Scored on clarity, not on price level. A published flat fee you can read beats a lower headline with unstated setup, notice and exit terms. What happens on currency conversion is one clause of that test.
Lithuania delivery and the depth behind it
Not raw country count, which is near-identical across this list. And deliberately not asserted entity ownership on its own either: most providers here publish no country-by-country list, so a footprint-wide ownership claim cannot be checked for Lithuania specifically. Teamed's Lithuania entity is the exception, cited to its own published entity page. What this axis rewards is the depth you can actually verify sitting behind the hire, whoever employs it: named global counsel, real HR and legal experts, and a published owned-entity position you can hold a provider to.
Platform and self-serve
Product surface, self-serve flows, integration and API depth, and how quickly a team that wants to run Lithuanian hiring itself can get to first payroll.
Security and certifications
ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II held today, the certifications a procurement or security review asks to see. Scored on what each provider holds now, not what is in progress.
Service model and employment intelligence
Whether real HR and legal experts own the hard moments directly, from a labour dispute committee hearing to a contested dismissal, or whether you reach a queue. Plus how well the system flags employment-law changes and the point where your own Lithuanian entity starts to beat EOR, before you have to ask.
Path to your own entity
Whether the provider will set up and run your own Lithuanian entity when EOR stops being the right model, on the same system, without re-onboarding your people. Most EOR providers stop at EOR, because that's where their revenue is.

How we gathered evidence

The six axes are pricing transparency, Lithuania delivery and the depth behind it, platform and self-serve, security and certifications, service model and employment intelligence, and the path to your own Lithuanian entity. Pricing came from each provider's own pricing page on 16th August 2026, and is marked as not published where the provider publishes none (G-P). G2 ratings from g2.com on the same date. Ownership claims are attributed to the provider that makes them; Teamed's Lithuania entity is verified against its own published entity-management page. This page deliberately asserts no Lithuanian statutory rate, threshold or contribution: that detail sits on the Lithuania hiring guide, behind a verification gate, and it moves. Teamed's own claims come from teamed.global.

Considered & excluded

We scored the eight providers a rapidly growing company hiring its first or second employee in Lithuania would realistically evaluate, drawn from the generalist shortlist that actually serves the Baltic market rather than a regional specialist list.

  • Multiplier: Markets EOR coverage across the Baltics but publishes a thinner Lithuania-specific public record than the eight scored here, and no owned-entity number.
  • Safeguard Global: A genuine managed-service specialist, but its published Lithuania record is thinner than the eight scored and its EOR pricing is not published at all, which we already flag as a drawback for G-P here.
  • Skuad (now part of Payoneer Workforce Management), Native Teams: Visible in EU EOR search results, but both carry a thinner Lithuania-specific public record than the eight scored, so we scored the eight rather than guess.

#1

Teamed

Us, scored on the same rubric

Best for: fast-growing companies hiring in Lithuania alongside several other markets, that want a Lithuanian entity behind the hire, a real person on the hard cases, and one partner from first contractor through to their own entity.

Teamed publishes this page, so start with the concession. It doesn't lead the platform column and it doesn't lead security. If you want the deepest self-serve product, or a certificate in hand for a security review this quarter, other providers here serve you better on those two axes.

What Teamed leads is Lithuania delivery, the service model and the lifecycle. Teamed owns its own legal entity in Lithuania, one of 57 countries where it employs directly rather than through a partner, so a Lithuanian hire sits inside a Teamed entity from day one. Real HR and legal experts, backed by DLA Piper as global counsel, handle the hard moments directly: a labour dispute committee hearing, a contested dismissal, or a Sodra query for a newly expanded team. No AI bot wall, no tier to unlock.

On cost, the fee is $599 per employee per month and FX is absorbed at zero markup on the fee, in any currency pairing. There's a refundable deposit of one month of salary to start, standard for the EOR model, and an early-exit fee can apply if you leave within the first three months. It's in the contract, so read it. Teamed also models the month your own Lithuanian entity starts to beat EOR, and tells you.

4.8/5

Strengths

  • Owns its own Lithuanian entity, one of 57 owned-entity countries worldwide, so your Lithuanian hire sits inside a Teamed entity rather than a partner chain.
  • Zero FX. No FX markup on the fee, in any currency pairing, which matters every month your fee converts against a EUR-denominated Lithuanian payroll.
  • Real HR and legal experts on every plan for terminations, disputes and labour dispute committee proceedings. No bot wall, no tier to unlock. Rated 4.8 on G2 for service.
  • One partner from first contractor through EOR to your own Lithuanian entity, on one system, with no re-onboarding. GEMO sets up and runs your own entity in 100+ countries.

Watch-outs

  • Lighter self-serve platform and a shallower API than Deel or Rippling. The model is advisory, not dashboard-first, so it concedes the platform column here.
  • ISO 27001 and SOC 2 are aligned with accreditation in progress, not held today the way several providers on this list hold them. If your security review needs a current certificate, ask every provider for issue dates.
  • A smaller brand and review base than Deel or Remote, and the advisory model earns its weight across several countries or a growing headcount. One hire in Lithuania with no plans to add more may suit a lighter self-serve product better.

#2

Deel

Best for: teams that want the deepest platform and the strongest brand in the category, and will trade a readable currency line for that breadth.

Deel is the incumbent and the baseline everyone else gets measured against in Lithuania as everywhere else. It has the deepest self-serve product here, one of the broadest native integration catalogues in the category, and the market-leading brand, which is often enough to clear a procurement shortlist on recognition alone. If your team wants to run Lithuanian hiring themselves from a dashboard, this is the strongest product on this list.

It also holds ISO 27001 and SOC 2 today, which puts it at the top of the security column and matters more than buyers expect once a security review starts. Its contractor, equity and IP tooling is mature in a way most of this list isn't, so a mixed Lithuanian team of employees and contractors sits on one system.

The trade is transparency and country-specific depth. Deel doesn't publish its FX terms, so the cost of converting the fee against a EUR payroll is built into the rate rather than shown on the invoice. Its reach is 150-plus countries with full legal employment in a smaller subset, delivered through a mix of owned entities and partners, so Lithuania needs the same written question as everywhere else: owned or partner?

Countries

Strengths

  • The deepest self-serve platform on this list and the bar the rest are measured against.
  • One of the broadest native integration catalogues in the category, covering most stacks without custom work.
  • Holds ISO 27001 and SOC 2 today, near the top of the security column for a procurement review.
  • Mature contractor, equity and IP tooling alongside EOR, so a mixed Lithuanian team sits on one system.

Watch-outs

  • Doesn't publish its FX terms, so the conversion cost on a EUR-denominated Lithuanian payroll is built into the rate rather than shown.
  • Doesn't publish which plan includes its dedicated Slack or Teams support channel, so confirm what your rate actually includes.
  • Advisory depth on employment-law edge cases is lighter than the specialist providers here, and a Lithuanian dismissal is a market where that shows up at the dispute committee rather than at onboarding.

#3

Remote

Best for: teams that want a polished self-serve platform with a mature benefits and IP product, and prefer owned entities in their core markets.

Remote is the strongest product-led alternative to Deel. It markets a fully owned entity network across the 90-plus countries where it delivers full EOR, and extends reach to 190+ locations through partners and other products. That distinction matters here: the owned-entity story applies to its EOR core, and Lithuania needs checking against that list rather than the headline reach figure.

It's more transparent than Deel on currency, though only after the fact. Remote applies a variable rate to cross-currency lines and shows the rate used on the monthly invoice, without publishing a percentage. That's better than silence and worse than absorption, and against a EUR Lithuanian payroll it's a number worth modelling before you sign rather than after.

The headline is $599 per employee per month on annual billing, or $699 month to month, so the comparison depends on which commitment you're making. Benefits administration and IP protection are genuinely mature, and the self-serve flows hold up as headcount grows. Check the owned-entity list rather than the reach figure for Lithuania, because the two are not the same claim: 190+ is where Remote can help you hire across all its products, 90+ is where it delivers full employment through its own entity.

Countries

Strengths

  • A fully owned entity network across the 90-plus countries where it delivers full EOR.
  • Shows the applied conversion rate on the monthly invoice, which is more than most of this list publishes.
  • Mature benefits administration and IP protection, stronger than most providers here.
  • A published, readable base price at $599 per employee per month on annual billing.

Watch-outs

  • The conversion rate is variable and no percentage is published, so model it against real EUR salary volumes for Lithuania.
  • The $599 headline needs annual billing. Month to month is $699, which changes the comparison.
  • Buyers report the suite can feel generic and that support can run to a multi-day SLA, which matters at a contested Lithuanian dismissal.

#4

Oyster

Best for: smaller and fast-scaling teams that want automated onboarding, dedicated customer-success managers and a B-Corp supplier at a published price for a straightforward Lithuania hire.

Oyster is the automation-first alternative for Lithuania, with clean onboarding, dedicated customer-success managers consistently praised in reviews, and published pricing. A certified B-Corp, it is built so a small team can run Lithuanian hiring without a payroll specialist in-house.

Lithuania sits within Oyster's 120-plus EOR-specific country set, but Oyster does not publish which of those are owned entities and which are partner-served. That gap narrows for straightforward employment; it widens if a Lithuanian dismissal reaches the labour dispute committee, because the accountable party is then whichever partner Oyster uses in Lithuania, not Oyster itself.

The B-Corp certification and published flat pricing carry weight with procurement teams that screen on values or want a price without a sales call. Against Deel you trade platform depth and deep integrations for speed, a dedicated CSM and a supplier that passed an external ethical audit. For a first Lithuania hire without complex compliance exposure, Oyster is a credible choice.

Strengths

  • Strong, consistently praised customer-success managers and a clean automated onboarding flow, among the quickest routes to a first Lithuanian payroll on this list.
  • Certified B-Corp with transparent published pricing at $699 per employee per month. Procurement teams screening on values or wanting a clean price without a call get an easy yes.
  • A large G2 review base, giving third-party depth beyond the brand's own claims for a market like Lithuania.
  • Holds SOC 2 Type II and GDPR compliance, a mature security posture for a platform of its size.

Watch-outs

  • Does not publish whether Lithuania is owned-entity or partner-served, so a contested dismissal is a question worth asking in writing before you sign.
  • No FX terms published on EUR conversions, so the real cost of the fee against a Lithuanian payroll is unknown until quote.
  • No productised path from Lithuania EOR to your own company, and less proactive crossover modelling as Lithuanian headcount builds.

#5

Rippling

Best for: teams consolidating HR, IT and payroll onto one platform, where a Lithuania hire is part of a broader system consolidation rather than a standalone first hire.

Rippling is the alternative if you want HR, IT and payroll unified on one system. It leads the platform column with 600+ integrations and a single employee record across people, devices and access. A Lithuanian EOR hire slots into the same workflow as every other employee in your company, which is the consolidation argument.

EOR is a newer part of the Rippling product, delivered across roughly 80 countries through a hybrid mix of Rippling-owned subsidiaries and partners. Lithuania coverage should be confirmed directly before shortlisting, since Rippling's EOR country set is materially narrower than the dedicated EOR providers here. It does not publish EOR pricing on its primary pages; a $499 starting figure surfaces only on Rippling-owned blog content, and a base HR-platform fee sits on top of the per-employee EOR charge.

Lithuania compliance advisory is lighter on the Rippling EOR product than on the specialist advisory providers. Get the all-in monthly number in writing: platform base plus the Lithuania EOR fee. For a team with a single Lithuanian hire and no broader consolidation ambition, a dedicated EOR is usually a cleaner starting point.

Countries

Strengths

  • The most powerful unified HR, IT and payroll platform on this list. Rippling publishes 600+ integrations and leads the platform column on this rubric, level with the largest competitor.
  • Device, app and access provisioning ride the same employee record as payroll, so a Lithuanian EOR hire is onboarded like any domestic employee from day one.
  • SOC 1 Type II and SOC 2 Type II plus ISO 27001, one of the broadest security certification stacks in the category, relevant for a larger enterprise procurement gate.
  • A live entity-versus-EOR cost calculator and a distinct Global Payroll product for companies ready to run their own Lithuanian entity.

Watch-outs

  • EOR country coverage is materially narrower than the rest of this list. Confirm Lithuania is fully supported before shortlisting.
  • Does not publish EOR pricing on its primary pages, and adds a base HR-platform fee on top. The all-in Lithuania EOR cost needs a sales call to confirm.
  • Lithuania compliance advisory is lighter than the specialist advisory providers. Built to replace your HR stack, not to be your Lithuanian employment-law partner.

#6

Papaya Global

Best for: enterprises consolidating Lithuania payroll alongside many other markets, where payroll-at-scale automation and reporting matter more than advisory agility.

Papaya Global comes at this from payroll rather than from EOR, and that shapes everything. Its strength is consolidated global payroll with genuinely strong reporting and workforce analytics, which suits a finance team pulling many countries into one view. If Lithuania is one line in a larger payroll programme, Papaya is built for that shape of problem.

On delivery it's more precise than most. Papaya publishes that it runs full EOR through owned entities in 40 countries, out of a 180+ country footprint. That's published rather than asserted, and asking whether Lithuania sits inside the owned 40 is a question with an answer, which is more than most of this list can offer.

The gaps are currency and lifecycle. Papaya doesn't publish an FX rate or spread on its pricing page, so the conversion cost against a EUR-denominated Lithuanian payroll is an unknown until quote. And like most payroll-led providers it stops at EOR, so the move to your own Lithuanian entity isn't something it runs for you on the same system.

Strengths

  • Publishes its owned-entity count at 40 countries rather than asserting an unverifiable total, which is rare here.
  • The strongest payroll consolidation and reporting on this list for a finance-led buyer.
  • Broad reach at 180+ countries, suiting Lithuania as one market inside a larger programme.
  • Holds ISO 27001, ISO 27701, SOC 1 Type II and SOC 2 Type II, a deep certification stack for an enterprise procurement gate.

Watch-outs

  • No published FX rate or spread, so conversion cost against a Lithuanian payroll is unknown until quote.
  • A smaller owned-entity share than the providers that lead this axis, so Lithuania may well be partner-served.
  • Stops at EOR. The path to your own Lithuanian entity is not run on the same system.

#7

G-P (Globalization Partners)

Best for: large enterprises where the widest owned-entity footprint, a long governance track record and analyst recognition matter more than speed, advisory agility or published pricing.

G-P markets over 100 legal entities of its own plus a 200-plus partner network across 180-plus countries, one of the widest footprints in the category. That breadth is genuine, with a long enterprise track record. For a large enterprise running a significant Lithuanian operation where governance and external audit are the primary bar, G-P clears it as completely as any provider here, which is why it contests the coverage column even without a Lithuania-specific citation.

For a rapidly growing company, the model is usually overkill. G-P does not publish EOR pricing at all: it is quote-only, gated behind a demo. The platform and onboarding are widely reported as enterprise-paced. Base-tier support leans on the G-P Assist AI assistant, while a dedicated success manager and direct access to HR and legal teams are reserved for the higher EOR Prime tier. A Lithuanian dispute is not the moment to discover that human employment-law access is a paid upgrade.

The case for G-P in Lithuania is governance at scale: a deep certification stack, a large in-country legal network claim, and the procurement posture large organisations require. Against Teamed and Remote, you trade speed, advisory agility and a modern platform for enterprise-grade owned-entity breadth and analyst recognition.

Countries

Strengths

  • Over 100 legal entities of its own plus a 200-plus partner network across 180-plus countries. One of the widest footprints in the category and the reason it anchors enterprise shortlists.
  • Deep enterprise governance and a long track record with large, complex global teams.
  • A deep certification stack: ISO 27001, 27017, 27018 and 42001 plus SOC 2 Type II, published on a self-serve trust portal, near the top of the security column.
  • A G2 base of over a thousand reviews gives the enterprise track record third-party weight.

Watch-outs

  • Does not publish EOR pricing. It is quote-only and gated behind a demo, so a like-for-like Lithuania comparison takes a sales cycle to pin down.
  • Base support is the G-P Assist AI assistant. A dedicated success manager and direct HR and legal team access are gated to the higher EOR Prime tier.
  • Enterprise focus and enterprise-paced onboarding make it a poor fit for a rapidly growing company that needs to move fast on a Lithuanian hire.

Pebl (formerly Velocity Global)

Best for: companies with M&A, immigration or cross-border equity needs touching Lithuania, who want a broad owned-entity-plus-partner footprint with a low flat headline and an AI-first delivery model.

Velocity Global rebranded to Pebl in September 2025 and is repositioning as an AI-first global hiring platform. It brings genuine depth in immigration and complex engagements across 185-plus countries, with 65 owned entities and one of the higher owned-entity shares outside G-P. Lithuania sits within its 185-plus country reach; confirm whether it falls within the 65 owned entities or the partner-served balance.

On its own pricing page it publishes a single flat $399 per employee per month, its lowest standard pricing. No FX terms and no contractor price are published. Buyers and reviewers report an undisclosed FX spread and a refundable security deposit, though neither appears on its own pages, so we frame them as reports. Day-to-day support is AI-first through the Alfie assistant, routing to human specialists when expertise is needed.

For Lithuanian immigration-linked hires or workforce carve-outs from acquisitions, Pebl's depth is a differentiator over the generalists. For a straightforward first Lithuania EOR hire, the mid-tier advisory providers offer more direct employment-law expertise at a predictable cost. The customer experience is still settling after the September 2025 rebrand, so third-party reviews carry a caveat on post-rebrand service consistency.

  • Genuine depth in M&A and immigration alongside EOR, with 65 owned entities. Workforce carve-outs and immigration-linked hires are the differentiators over the generalists.
  • A simple published flat headline of $399 per employee per month, easy to compare at a glance before you model the all-in cost.
  • A broad platform and integration ecosystem across HRIS and finance, with a centralised work platform and a full contractor and equity offering.
  • Holds current ISO 27001:2022 and SOC 2 Type 2 certifications, near the top of the security column.

Watch-outs

  • Publishes no FX terms and no contractor price. Buyers and reviewers report an undisclosed FX spread and a refundable security deposit not surfaced on its pages.
  • Customer experience has been uneven following the September 2025 rebrand to Pebl. Third-party reviews are mixed on post-rebrand service consistency.
  • Day-to-day support is AI-first through the Alfie assistant. For a Lithuanian employment-law edge case, confirm how fast it routes to a human expert.

Why the shortlist matters

Behind every line item is a real person, in a real place.

The fee, the FX and the support model are not abstractions. They decide whether the person you hired in Barcelona or Rome is paid right, on time, by someone who knows their employment law. That is what the ranking is really measuring.

What each stakeholder evaluates

CriterionLegalFinancePeople OpsSecurity
Who is actually accountable in LithuaniaAsk, in writing, whether the provider employs through its own Lithuanian entity or through a local partner. Teamed owns its Lithuania entity. Then ask who signs the employment contract and who represents you before the labour dispute committee.A partner in the chain is usually a margin layer as well as a legal one. Papaya publishes its owned count at 40 countries. G-P claims over 100 owned entities globally. Most of this list publishes nothing country by country, so the answer has to be asked for.When a dismissal is contested, you want someone who knows Lithuanian employment practice and the dispute committee process answering the phone, not a queue routing it to whoever is free.An owned entity means one data-processing chain. A partner means a sub-processor you did not choose and may not have assessed.
What happens on the fee conversionAsk for the currency terms in writing before signing. Most providers quote the fee in US dollars against a EUR-denominated Lithuanian payroll, so confirm whether a rate is applied, how it is sourced, and whether it is fixed or moves month to month.This is a recurring cost most comparisons miss. Teamed absorbs FX at zero markup on the fee. Remote shows the applied rate after the fact. Deel, Oyster, Papaya and G-P publish nothing, so a lower headline fee can land above a higher one once conversion is added.A fee that lands differently each month generates finance queries. A stated conversion basis prevents most of them.A flat fee with FX absorbed at zero markup is one clear line to reconcile each month.
What happens when EOR stops being the right modelAsk whether the provider will set up and run your own Lithuanian entity, and what happens to the existing employment contracts if it does. Re-papering people is a legal event, not an administrative one.Ask whether anyone has modelled the point where your own entity starts to beat EOR on cost, and whether they will show you the working. Most providers here stop at EOR, because that is where their revenue sits.A transition that requires re-onboarding your Lithuanian team is a retention risk. On one system with continuity of records, it is a paperwork exercise.Moving between providers means moving employee data. Staying on one system means it does not move at all.

Decision checklist

  • Ask the owned-or-partner question about Lithuania in writing, before anything else. Teamed owns its own Lithuanian entity. Most other providers here deliver through a mix of owned entities and local partners and publish nothing country by country. The answer decides who is accountable if a dismissal is contested, and it is the one thing no comparison page can settle for you.
  • Get the currency terms in writing before you compare headline fees. Most fees here are quoted in US dollars against a EUR Lithuanian payroll, so this is a recurring cost, not a footnote. Teamed absorbs FX at zero markup on the fee. Remote shows the applied rate after the fact. Deel, Oyster, Papaya and G-P publish nothing.
  • Choose on the service model if ongoing human expertise matters more than platform breadth. Teamed leads this column: real HR and legal experts handle dismissals, disputes and audits on every plan, with no bot wall and no tier to unlock. Rated 4.8 on G2.
  • Choose on the path to your own entity if you expect Lithuanian headcount to grow. Teamed leads this column and sets up and runs your own entity through GEMO in 100+ countries on the same system, with no re-onboarding.
  • Choose Deel if platform depth, the integration catalogue and the most recognised brand in the category are what your procurement team needs, and you can live without published FX terms.
  • Choose Remote if you want a polished self-serve product with mature benefits and IP tooling, and annual billing is acceptable. Confirm whether Lithuania falls inside its 90-plus owned-entity EOR set.
  • Choose Oyster if you want fast automated onboarding, a dedicated customer-success manager and a B-Corp supplier at a published price for a straightforward Lithuania hire.
  • Choose Rippling if you want HR, IT and payroll unified on one platform and a Lithuania hire is part of a broader system consolidation. Confirm Lithuania is in Rippling EOR coverage before shortlisting.
  • Choose Papaya Global if you are an enterprise consolidating Lithuania payroll across many markets and payroll-at-scale automation is the priority.
  • Choose G-P if you are a large enterprise where the widest owned-entity footprint and the longest governance track record matter more than speed or published pricing.
  • Choose Pebl if you have M&A, immigration or equity-plan needs touching Lithuania and want a broad owned-entity-plus-partner footprint at a low published headline.
  • Choose on security if your review needs a current ISO 27001 or SOC 2 certificate in hand. Deel, Remote, Rippling, Papaya and Pebl hold them today. Teamed is aligned with accreditation in progress, so it concedes this column.
  • Read the contract line by line whoever you pick. Across this category, providers layer on setup, offboarding, minimum-term commitments, notice windows, termination and admin charges, and a deposit is normal. Ask every shortlisted provider for that list in writing.

Honest take

When another provider on this list is the better call

  • You want the deepest self-serve platform and the broadest integration catalogue, and you can live without published currency terms. That is Deel, with Rippling close behind if HR, IT and payroll consolidation is the wider goal.
  • Your security review needs a current ISO 27001 or SOC 2 certificate in hand this quarter. Deel, Remote, Rippling, Papaya and Pebl all hold current certifications. Teamed is aligned with accreditation in progress, so it concedes that column outright.
  • You are a large enterprise where the widest owned-entity footprint and the longest governance track record matter more than speed or advisory agility. G-P is built for that shape of buyer.
  • You are consolidating Lithuania payroll alongside many other markets and reporting matters more than the EOR relationship itself. Papaya Global leads that column.
  • You want fast automated onboarding and a published flat price for a straightforward first Lithuania hire with no complex compliance exposure. Oyster is a credible choice here.

Teamed is the right answer when you are hiring across several markets, want a Lithuanian entity behind the hire and real HR and legal experts on the hard cases rather than a queue, and want one partner for the whole journey through to your own entity.

Frequently asked questions

  • Do I need a local entity to hire someone in Lithuania?
    No. An employer of record employs the person on your behalf through an entity that already exists in Lithuania, so you can hire without registering your own. You still choose the person and manage their work. If your Lithuanian headcount grows, there's a point where your own entity starts to beat EOR on cost, and that's worth modelling rather than assuming.
  • Is Lithuania served by an owned entity or a local partner?
    That depends entirely on the provider. Teamed owns its own legal entity in Lithuania, one of 57 countries where it employs directly. Most other providers on this page deliver through a mix of owned entities and vetted local partners and do not publish a country-by-country list, so Lithuania specifically is unconfirmed. Ask each shortlisted provider in writing whether Lithuania is owned or partner-served, because that determines who is accountable if a Lithuanian dismissal is contested.
  • What should I check on currency conversion for a Lithuanian hire?
    Lithuania uses the euro, and most providers on this page quote their fee in US dollars, so there is a currency conversion on the fee every month even before the salary itself. Providers here fall into three groups: those that absorb it, those that disclose a variable rate after the fact, and those that publish nothing. Ask for the terms in writing before comparing headline fees, because a lower fee with an undisclosed conversion cost can land above a higher fee that absorbs it.
  • Who handles a contested dismissal in Lithuania?
    Most individual dismissal and pay disputes go first to a labour dispute committee sitting under the State Labour Inspectorate, a mandatory pre-trial step, before either side can escalate further. The entity named on the employment contract, whether that is the provider's own entity or a local partner's, is the party that sits in front of the committee. Ask any provider in writing who represents you and how quickly a real employment law expert, rather than a support queue, gets involved.

Common questions

  • Which EOR is best for hiring in Lithuania?
    No single winner. Teamed owns a Lithuanian entity and leads service model and the path to your own entity, with FX absorbed at zero markup and 4.8 on G2. Deel and Rippling lead platform. G-P and Papaya suit enterprise consolidation. Decide on two questions: is Lithuania owned or partner-served, and what are the fee-conversion terms?
  • What should I check before choosing an EOR in Lithuania?
    Four things for Lithuania: (1) owned entity or local partner, in writing? (2) fee-conversion terms, in writing? (3) do real HR and legal experts handle a contested dismissal, or a queue? (4) is there a modelled path to your own entity when EOR stops fitting? Ask every provider directly before you sign.
