"Each appeal is considered with the utmost attention." All applicants receive qualified consultations from specialists on issues of contract employment, salary payment deadlines, vacations, hiring and dismissal, labor protection, remuneration, as well as on pension provision and social insurance. During the reception, appeals are given a professional legal assessment, mechanisms for resolving the issues are determined, and citizens are promptly assisted in resolving their problems. The "Outreach Reception-2012" campaign was held in January for residents of Berestovitsky and Svislochsky districts of Grodno region, in February - for residents of Dokshitsky, Postavsky, Ushachsky districts of Vitebsk region, in March - for residents of Minsk and Dzerzhinsky districts of Minsk region, in April - for residents of Ivacevichsky and Pruzhansky districts of Brest region, in May - for residents of Mstislavsky, Cherikovsky and Dribinsky districts of Mogilev region, in June - for residents of Rogachevsky, Kormyansky, Zhlobinsky districts of Gomel region and Kirovsky district of Mogilev region, in July - for residents of Borisov city, Borisov and Krupki districts, as well as Zhodino city, in August - for residents of Grodno and Grodno region. This form of work with citizens, involving ministry specialists and media representatives, has proven to be highly effective and in demand among the population. The project was launched in March 2007. Last year, 12 outreach receptions were held, and 167 citizens received legal assistance (in 2010, 105 people were received during nine stages of the campaign). Since the fourth quarter of 2011, the outreach reception has been held jointly with "Narodnaya Gazeta" and Belteleradiocompany.
