With the huge expansion in employees working remotely in
recent years, new disciplinary issues have emerged. How can an
employer in Lithuania ensure the suspension of a remote working

teleworking must be granted. As teleworking becomes a
daily routine for employers and

of disciplinary violations and the suspension of
employees. Suspension is relatively straightforward when the
employee is working in the office, but when working
remotely, it presents a number of challenges.
