The Seimas made that decision on Thursday. 107 members of the Seimas voted in favor of the law, one abstained.
Belorus employees who were hired before the end of last year and are leaving this year will be eligible for the new benefit. It would be received both at the initiative of the employer and by those who have left the job themselves and terminating the employment contract by agreement of the parties.
The payment of subsidies to the sanatorium will be suspended.
The money will be paid no later than 20 business days from the date of its release. The benefit must be reimbursed if Belorus signs a new employment contract with the employee within three months after dismissal.

The payment of the penalty will be 77.58%. the average salary of two employees, but not more than 2,890 euros.
For employees who have not worked for the company for 12 months, the benefit will reach their median income. They will also be subject to a maximum limit of € 2,890.
Of the nearly 400 people who work at the sanatorium, about 350 are Lithuanian citizens.
On Thursday, the Seimas also banned Lithuanian companies subject to EU sanctions from providing subsidies for downtime. These companies will also not be able to receive support in other ways: they will not receive employment support, job creation funds or employment under an apprenticeship contract.
The case of Belarus is the first in Lithuania’s history in which international sanctions are applied to an institution operating in the country. Following his request, Swedbank froze the sanitarium accounts in mid-December.

According to the Records Center, the Belarusian sanatorium belongs to the Presidential Affairs Board of Belarus. It is directed by Victor Family. The Presidential Affairs Board reports directly to Lukashenko.
At the end of 2019, the EU imposed sanctions on the General Economic Board (GHU), which reports directly to the Belarusian Presidential Affairs Board.
Šeiman himself was included on the EU sanctions lists more than a decade ago.
Swedbank, which has frozen the accounts, does not detail the exact basis on which that decision was made.
