Probation period is generally specified for all employees to observe how the employee is working,picking up skills,interaction and general adjustment to employer company environment.
The legal implication of probation is that termination is easier without getting into legal hassles.
Otherwise terminating a permanent employee has many formalities and has even union implications at times.
If an employee is hired without Probation period,obviously date of joining will be date of confirmation.
The challenges in cases of employees without probation means that the employee can be dismissed only after following full provisions of law and company code.

Pdrk,
Appointment letter would have terms and conditions of appointment and resignation and notice period would be a part of the terms and conditions.
Even during probation notice period should be spelt out which could be for a lesser period than that specified for permanent employees.
The company can always permit lesser notice in any specific case after recording reasons in writing and allow an employee to go.But it is better to have clear policy for probation employees and specify these terms in appointment letter.
This will reduce discretionary decisions.
