An outreach reception on labor legislation will be held today in Senno

September 22, Minsk /BelTA/. An outreach reception for citizens on labor law issues will be held today in Senno (Vitebsk region), the press secretary of the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of Belarus, Varvara Aleksandrovich, told BelTA. The reception will take place from 11:00 to 14:00 at the Senno District Executive Committee. Residents not only of Senno but also of Chashniksky and Beshenkovichsky districts will be able to get answers to their questions on conflict situations at work, as well as assistance in resolving pressing problems. Representatives of the Department of State Labor Inspectorate of the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection will provide consultations for employees and employers on issues of the contract system of employment, salary payment deadlines, vacations, hiring and dismissal, labor protection and payment, pension provision, and state targeted social assistance. The campaign was launched in March 2007. During this time, about 2,000 people have attended the reception. The outreach reception with the participation of ministry specialists and media representatives has proven the high effectiveness of this form of work with citizens and its demand among the population. As practice shows, after the reception, the number of appeals from this region noticeably decreases. By the way, most citizen appeals are resolved directly during the outreach reception. This year, such events have already been held in the Brest, Gomel, Grodno, Minsk, and Mogilev regions. -0-
