Dear,

Your need to classify each employee into different category and review his / her position for evaluation on probation viz a viz notice period . If one is employed as worker or clerical position , you may have to refer Model Standing Order with respect to Notice period provided you have not issued any aapoointment letter . When probation period specify different notice period , you have to go by what is mentioned in the appointment letter ahd shall stand text of law .

On the other hand if an empoyer wishes to keep notice period more than what is prescribed under any statue , the employer is free to do so which shall become binding on the employee being terms of contractual obligation on the part of both the parties .

Therefore , please treat both probation and confirmation independant and go by terms of appointment which stand test of any law of interpetation.

Hope , I am able to throw some light on this point.

Thanks
