Abstract

The probation period is a necessary stage for acquiring tenure in the Brazilian public sector. Its purpose is to evaluate the new statutory employee in the position in charge, in order to keep only the ones who present a set level performance. This study approaches the probation period in three capitals of Southern Brazil (Curitiba, Florianópolis and Porto Alegre) looking for possible similarities and characteristics, and adequacy of its implementation to the Federal Constitution and literature in the area. For such, the legislation that regulates the probation period in each city was analyzed in this multiple case study. The results of this study do not point out critical differences in the probation period process of the target cities, identifying only small specific characteristics in the assessed factors. Some weaknesses were found: the scope of the evaluation requirements and the qualification of the evaluators that develops such activity.
