The United States Court of Ap peals for the First Circuit has issued an opinion of major importance to any company that frequently makes use of probationary contracts in its business ( Nilsa Santiago v. Centennial P.R. Wireless Corp., 217 F3rd 46 (1st Cir. 2000)). The First Circuit nullified the probationary contract that the employee signed upon beginning her employment with the company. The employee s probationary contract stated that it was a contract for 90-calendar days, commencing July 1, 1996, and ending September 30, 1996. The Court held that although the July 1 through September 30 time period, in layman s terms, equals three months, it does not correspond to the 90 day probationary period regulated by Law 80.
