Yes you do - and better than that - they have to pay you for this period! It's part of the protection that you are provided with by law.
That said, many employers move you straight out when you give notice, but you still can't start work until your notice period is up. It's commonly called "gardening leave".
Check your contract - it may be becuase of the shortage of your current tenure that 4 weeks is not the notice period as yet.
Lastly try and leave on good terms and when you give notice ask if you can leave beforehand and not get paid.
Are you really sure that you want to leave a job after 3 months? It could be that you have just not settled in yet. Ask for some advice, assitance from your manager before you give in your notice.

Legally you dont have to work your notice, but if you don't you wont get paid fully, i know this frm experience. So i would recommend you work it. However 4 weeks seems alot just for being there for 3 months as usually yor notice period is a week per how many years youve worked, so it should be a week. Dont find out from your manager, ring up you hreadoffice yourself.

What is the notice period for you if they decide they no longer need your services? If you don't mind burning bridges you can leave without notice but you would not want to later ask for the job back. Otherwise it shouldn't have any effect on your future employment elsewhere.

You dont legally have to work it, but if other potential employers call this job to ask about you, they will probably mention that you didnt work it, and that will make you look bad. I dont think any job can legally make you stay there for any amount of time.

If you signed a contract stating you have to give 4 weeks notice then it is legally binding.

They can refuse to give you your unpaid vacation, but that is about it. You can leave any job with no notice for the most part. Only if you signed a bond or indemnity clause are you really going to lose anything.

Our employees only have to give a month if they have worked for us for longer than six months. It all depends on your contract, however there isn't a great deal your employer can do legally if you want to leave sooner than that.

If you want to get paid for the hours you have worked, you have to work your notice period.

No you don't have to work it - they can't take you to court for not going back, but it can effect any bonus's/stock options you have and it is generally considered to be best practice to work as much of your notice as you can to enable them to get a replacement.
