Is it possible to backdate an employment agreement in Latvia?

No, backdating employment agreements is not permitted under Latvian labor law.

All employment agreements must be signed before the employee begins work. The agreement must clearly state the start date, and this date must align with the actual commencement of work.

Employing someone without a signed employment contract in place is a violation of local labor regulations and may result in legal and financial consequences for the employer.
