When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

probationary period
--------------------------------------------------
Note added at 13 hrs 7 mins (2005-06-21 14:08:03 GMT)
--------------------------------------------------
\"accrual\" is used to refer to the compilation of interest, but also to anything that \"builds up\" - the period of time in which something is collecting/building up/increasing is the \"accrual period.\" Probationary period, in the workplace, refers to the time immediately following hiring, when a company does not have to pay benefits or give vacations. An employee can be terminated at the end of this period without having to justify the termintation. After the probationary period (often 90 days) the employee begins to receive benefits - sick leave, retirement contributions, vacation time off (which can be on an accrual basis . . 1 day per month, for example). And once the probabtionary period is over, the employer must show \"just cause\" for a termination of that employee. Does this help?
