It’s actually illegal. In the UK, an employer should provide you with your terms of employment within three months of your commencement of work.

In the US many states are "Right to Work". You can be let go at an time for any reason. Most non-union employers in the US do not have employment contracts.

If you're talking about the United Kingdom, yes. Contracts of employment for full-time and part-time workers have been required since the 1960s, I think.

You should be given a contract of employment as soon as your trial period is up. You keep a copy and a copy is put on your personnel file.

I'm not sure it's illegal for them to engage you without work contracts. However, having the contract clarifies each individual's obligations. YOu can confirm this with ACAS - they offer a free service for employees.
