• Executives and high-level employees: 6 months.
• All other employees: 3 months.

Additionally, the length of the probationary period can be influenced by the National Collective Labour Agreement (NCLA), which may specify durations based on employee levels. According to Pebl's practice, the probationary periods for employees under the applied collective agreement are as follows:

• Dirigente, Quadro, White-collar level I: 6 months
• Levels II, III, IV, and V: 60 days
• Levels VI and VII: 45 days
