período experimental

The probation period. During this time either side can end the contract more easily and with almost no explanation. Its length depends on the type of contract and the position.

Where you come across it. The first months in a new job.
Parting ways during probation can later count against you when claiming unemployment benefit, which has its own conditions on length of service and reason for leaving.
