Less than 12 months and you can fire them anyway

Looks like I will have to pay Luke £500, who I fired over xmas, as he
has no written contract. A well spent bit of dosh ...

That was careless of him, losing his copy . . . .

As you say though, getting rid for 2 weeks wages is a bargain.

I doubt they were paid that much per week, the only reason some have
apprentices is because you don't have to pay minimum wage.
