State Control to check salaries at 30 thousands enterprises
The Committee of State Control of Belarus initiated checking of the so-called "backdoor salaries". A special working group was created in accordance with the order of the Head of the Committee of State Control of Belarus Zianon Lomats.

The group will work from August 23 till September 23. The main task is to clarify the reasons why the employers pay their employees salaries which are lower than the mimimum living wage (274 510 roubles at the moment of August 1, 2010), as well as lower than 200 USD in equivalent.
