What is the standard salary payment date for employees in Latvia?

In Latvia, the standard salary payment date is the last calendar day of each month.

Employers are required to pay employees their full salary no later than this date for the work performed during that month.

If the payment date falls on a non-working day, payment is usually made on the preceding working day.

Expense reimbursements are processed and paid as part of the monthly payroll cycle.

Reimbursements submitted by employees and approved by the employee’s line manager before the 15th of the month will be included in the payroll and paid out at the end of the same month.
Reimbursements submitted and approved after the 15th will be processed in the following month’s payroll and paid at the end of that month.

Please ensure all necessary approvals are completed by the 15th to avoid delays in reimbursement.
