The minimum hourly pay will be 5.15 litas from 1 August.
“The government took into account discussions with social partners, which took the whole year, and decided to raise the minimum wages to 850 litas from 1 August, so that businesses could have time to make proper arrangements. The discussions took slightly longer than expected, which we may be reproached for, but I have to point out that there were many factors due to which we could not take a decision on the minimum wages until now,” Prime Minister Andrius Kubilius told the reporters after the government’s meeting.
Those factors included the economic situation and the elections in Greece, he added.
