“We have an open complaint line, (…). The last signals we receive (there is ELTA) about the translation come out voluntarily. It should be remembered here that in no way write requests voluntarily. If the employer wants to fire the employee, they must do so well in advance and fire him along with the severance pay, ”I. Ruginienė told Eltai.
“Another thing is that we receive signals about changes in working conditions. (…) It is also the calculation of wages to the nearest minute, which is illegal. The Labor Code clearly establishes that it must be counted in hours ”, added the head of the confederation.
At the time, one of the reasons for the rise in the unemployment rate, he said, was related to the fact that some employers were laying off workers fearing a second wave of the pandemic.

“Some entrepreneurs are apparently intimidated by the second wave of quarantine and decide to save a little, (…) reduce production volumes, not accept employees and reduce the groups they had,” said I. Ruginienė.
According to her, the unemployment rate may also have increased due to the fact that part of the employees who previously worked in the “shadow” were registered with the Employment Service.
I. Ruginienė also claimed that even before the quarantine some companies had a hard time, so the quarantine acted as a catalyst for them due to the dismissal of employees.
“Before the quarantine, some companies had a very difficult time, what we saw in the practice of the Labor Disputes Commission, although salaries were not paid, the employees were not duly formalized, (companies – ELTA) balanced on the verge of bankruptcy. The quarantine has become a catalyst for this whole process, and it is natural that some employees have already lost their jobs after the quarantine, ”said I. Ruginienė.
It noted that layoffs had occurred in some sectors, such as tourism and services, due to difficulties, but layoffs had also been observed in companies that had not been significantly affected by the quarantine.
“There are also a large number of manufacturing companies, which cannot be said to have been greatly affected by the quarantine, but employers have that sense of the economy,” said I. Ruginienė.
Last week, the Employment Service announced that the unemployment rate in Lithuania had reached 13.5 percent. Currently, a total of 232.4 thousand people are looking for work in the country. persons.
