“Employment Card 2026”, compiled by Sorainen experts, provides a concise and practical comparison of key employment law regulations across Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, reflecting the legal framework as of 1 January 2026.
Designed as a quick reference for company decision‑makers, in‑house counsel, HR professionals and legal advisers operating in the Baltic region, the card brings together the employment law topics that most often require cross‑border comparison. It covers, among others, employment contract formalities, fixed‑term and probation rules, confidentiality and non‑compete obligations, working time and overtime compensation, termination and redundancy requirements, mandatory employer policies, payroll taxes, and minimum gross salary levels.
By presenting the similarities and key differences between the three jurisdictions in a clear, side‑by‑side format, the Employment Card 2026 helps users assess risks, ensure compliance and make informed employment‑related decisions across the Baltics.
