I have been on weekly pay since i started my job, and i was told today that from next week i shall be on monthly pay....therefore i will have to go a whole month without being paid. Is this legal?

yes its perfectly legal, it goes threw acclounting and then a, accountant--- they can pay you like this too save them time monery on processing checks every week, and the money that goes towards funding a payrroll, account is drawing more interest for them until it comes off the books, they do it this way to redce payroll costs, such as printing checks every single week, and associatedd costs as printing more checks ever week, and the staf too process this stuff out!!

I'm answering assuming you are in the U.S. Yes. Since they are the new owners, they get to decide how employees are paid. They should also ask you to fill out a new W2. When you are paid, they should give you some sort of pay stub so you can prove you were paid and how much (if any) taxes were taken out. If you're being paid "under the table" (no taxes taken out), then I'd suggest you get a new job ASAP. If they don't send you a 1099 at the next tax time, then you should report them.

If you are in the UK they need to give you 90 days notice to your terms and Conditions. We are going through a similar exercise but also with a change from 8 hour shifts to 12 hour shifts ... after 90 days they can implement with no further notice

They should have discussed this with you and given you proper written notification of his change in the terms of your contract.
You are entitled to expect time to make adjustments and set aside money. One company I worked for phased this in over three months going from weekly, to fortnightly, to monthly...and that worked out very well

We have been through it for years now! you should have saved some money, your employer have nothing to do but to inform you that's all. You could always go to a local Bank to make a small loan, to get you on for a month.

Not really.
They should at least give you a month's notice. Then after that month they should pay you every two weeks for another months, and THEN go onto monthly pay.
HOWEVER, check your contract, it it's not mentioned then you don't have a leg to stand on.
Make sure you talk to you boss and let him know that last minute things like these are not acceptable.

Just be careful that your boss is not having trouble meeting payroll and stretching things out so that you'll work a month for free and not get paid.

In Missouri no notice is needed, the employer can do whatever they want.
