b) It does not exceed 30 days for posts which require professional and technical qualifications of intermediate vocational level, professional secondary level, or for technical workers and skilled employees.

c) It does not exceed 6 working days for other types of jobs.

Wage during the probation period: The wage for an employee during the probation period must be agreed upon by the two parties but must be at least equal to 85% of the wage for the job.
