How to Recover Unpaid Wages?
An employment contract is an agreement between an employee and an employer, where the employee commits to performing work functions under the employer’s authority and for their benefit, while the employer agrees to pay wages in return.
It is essential to remember that an employment contract must be concluded in writing in two copies—one for the employee. Both the employee and the employer (or an authorized representative) must sign the contract. Only with a written employment contract can the employee benefit from the guarantees provided by law.
There are cases where an employer fails to fulfill the obligations specified in the employment contract, such as not paying the agreed wages.
When an employer fails to pay the wages owed to an employee, the employee often turns to a debt recovery company. A reputable debt collection company understands that the most effective steps in the wage recovery process can be taken by the employee themselves. Skola ir Teisė advises taking the following actions:
Send a written claim to the employer.
Contact the Labor Dispute Commission: https://www.vdi.lt/Forms/DGK.aspx
If the commission's decision is in your favor, you can enforce it by submitting it to the Bailiffs Chamber: https://www.antstoliurumai.lt/
If the decision is not favorable, you may consult with a professional attorney who specializes in labor law.
