The Tribunal da Relação de Lisboa declared the appeal against the dismissal dismissed. The court found the contract clause extending the probation period from 15 to 30 days void as it violated Article 5 of the Decree-Law 781/86. Furthermore, the employer's claim that nine consecutive absences justified termination was rejected because no disciplinary process was initiated.

SUMÁRIO

I - Está ferida de nulidade a cláusula do contrato de trabalho a prazo que estabelece o alargamento do prazo experimental de 15 dias para 30 dias, por ser contrária ao disposto no artigo 5 do Decreto-Lei n. 781/86.

II - Não basta alegar que o A. deu nove faltas em dias inteiros, seguidos, se não foi instaurado processo disciplinar, sendo tal alegação irrelevante para justificar o despedimento.
