Doesn’t need a contact ,either verbal or written.
doesn’t matter if it 2 weeks or 2 months.
A court or tribunal will take the wage slips as an agreement by the company that you are contracted to them and vice versa.
so if you have no written contract then the wage slips will be construed as your contract because it should show , hours worked and paid for, tax and ins deducted,work payroll number etc etc. 
Do it properly.
Give 1 week, and don’t burn your bridges.

I’ve had the pleasure of working for some cracking employers, and i’ve left on really good terms. I may have had a contract explaining that i should give a weeks notice, But i’ll speak to them and ask what would they like. It’s usually the best option to leave on good terms.
However, I’ve also worked for some complete tossers, You wouldn’t ■■■■ on them if they were on fire. So i’d just leave them in the [zb] if the opportunity came up.
Decency and respect works both ways.
I have one previous employer who’s been retired a long time now, But if he ever asked me for a favour or help in any way, I’d do what i could to assist.
My advise is to not look at contracts and legal issues, just look at what’s right for you and you only if they are a bunch of tossers, But look at what’s right for you and them if they’re a decent lot.
If the company was good to you, do them 1 last favour. However… IF they are a shower of backstabbing, spineless ■■■■■■■■■…Do one.
thanks for all replies,i had meeting with 3 of the directors this afternoon,i told them my reasons and they were understanding to what i said,i told them i would work till next thursday and leave on good terms if required,they were happy with that.So if i can help anyone who requires a job in tamworth i know where there will be one next week,it might suit somebody else so pm me and i will get back to you sometime
Hiya …try to leave on good terms…the job may come good…you may be out of work…you can say times change
and you’d like to work for them again…the company may be taken over by some megga company but the same staff
still run the outfit…you can go back and ask niceley. i left a firm 20 years ago, the directors have never spoken to me
since, even though i’ve been into their yard with loads, the workers made it known i was in the yard but no one would
come and speak with me.

if it’s warranting a meeting with 3 of the directors then maybe it would help if you stated the terms and conditions that is acceptable for you to stay, they obviously feel it’s important enough to attend so state you terms that would keep you there (without being over the top just a realistic wage and conditions) it coUld be you are the driver they want so they may feel that your input is valuable, if that’s is successful you could have a very tidy number ther with some sway as to the future.
DON’T ASK …DON’T GET.
ASK POLITELY AND CONSIDERATELY AND YOU MAY GET …NOTHING TO LOSE.
GOOD LUCK

i think it was more of a coincidence that they were there,im just a lowly paid hard working driver,but i did put a couple of ideas to them which they seemed happy with

All employers are legally bound to give you at least, written ‘terms and conditions of employment’ within 8 weeks of start date. This statement must give details about, job title, wages, hours of work, holiday entitlement, sick pay, pension schemes, notice, grievance,dismissal and disciplinary procedure. Any decent employer would give you a contract of employment rather than terms and conditions of employment.
