July 2 - last day to get a job
If the unemployed do not do find a job today, they will become freeloaders. Belarusians must work for at least 183 days a year.
Those who do not work or half a year (183 days) will have to pay the tax of Br3.6 million: this norm is indicated in the ‘freeloaders decree’. July 2 is the last day to get a job or register in the placement service.
