User: does everyone who is working need a contract?

User: if you are in a full time job is it legal not to have a contract?

Weegy: No it's not. you have no employment contract (which differs from particulars of employment) you are covered by statutory employment terms.Most employment contracts are a waste of paper in my opinion.

User: if you do not have a working contract, it is possible for your employer to make you work 52 hours per week and only pay you for 32 hours? is this legal?

Weegy: No.He should pay for the work you already did.He can reduce it only for the work you are going to do and not for what you did.

Not necessarily, as there are various types of employment arrangements that can exist, such as part-time or casual work, which may not always involve a formal contract.
