Re: Verbal Contract and other question
As for your first answer, a "safe" number of hours to work is dependent on the field and whether its regulated. Generally speaking the work week for most people consists of approximately 40 hours.
As for your second question, unless there was a formal agreement or unless you gave up something in consideration of the boss' promise or can prove that you changed your position in any way in reliance of your boss' promise it will be impossible to prove that a contract was created merely based on your boss' statement that you were next in line.
