In June, Lithuania’s social insurance institution Sodra will introduce a new protocol requiring employers to provide detailed information about employee salaries, working hours, and job classifications. Under this new regulation, employers will be mandated to report monthly on paid working hours, gross salaries, and any additional compensation, such as bonuses. This streamlined approach aims to ensure that Sodra has timely and accurate data for calculating employee contributions and benefits.

Employers will only need to submit information about the set working hours, working schedule, and assigned job category number once, updating these details only when changes occur. This reduces the administrative burden on companies while ensuring that Sodra can efficiently gather and manage data concerning employee remuneration across different sectors. The changes are part of broader efforts to improve the transparency and reliability of income data within the country's social insurance system.

Additionally, Sodra will utilize the collected data to compute and deliver insights on average monthly hourly wages and the salary statistics for men and women based on job categories. This initiative is expected to provide valuable metrics for evaluating wage disparities and supporting policy decisions intended to promote equal pay. Overall, the upcoming changes are poised to have a significant impact on the workforce in Lithuania by fostering a more transparent salary framework that benefits employees and employers alike.
