Disciplinary Liability and Other Means Impacting the Employee’s Behaviour in Labour Relations in Latvia and Lithuania

The article examines the regulation and practice of employee liability in employment relationships in two Baltic states – Latvia and Lithuania. Considering that the Latvian Labour Law regulates the disciplinary liability of employees, while in Lithuania disciplinary punishments (except for the most severe punishment – dismissal) have not been provided for since 2017, the authors analyse the regulatory framework of these countries and reflect on the case law, as well as outline the main differences and problematic issues in the context of employee liability.
