No he can't. It's a change to your contract of employment and requires 90 days notice. When most companies do this they will give you a loan to cover any bank charges incurred during the transition from weekly to monthly pay. Contact ACAS or the Citizens Advice Bureau for advice on what to do.

Legality may vary from state to state, but federal labor laws probably cover it too. Regardless of the laws, it's obviously an unfair move. Contact your state agency that regulates labor, workman's comp and so on. Call the state's information desk, tell them the problem and ask them to transfer you to the appropriate party.
Ask yourself why this would be done with no notice. Best reason- Financial problems. He can't meet the payroll, and is banking on sales or receivables money being available by the end of the month to cover the wages due. If that's true, he has no working capitol and no available credit line. It's only a matter of time before the business fails.
This would tell you that you should do two things. First, get busy and find a new job. Second, consider the probability that if you work for the next month, you may not get paid then either.

depending on how large your company is you can go to Human Resources with concerns and ask to see the change notice. If it's a small company and he is HR he has the right to change his pay policy but he would have had to inform you in writing with a start date of some sort, you shouldn't have been blind sided the day before your regular pay day. the other road you can take is to call your local Labor Board and file a formal complaint. please be aware that depending on how many people are doing the same thing or previous complaints filed on his company it can lead to legal issues. If you don't want to be the start of this talk to other employees you can trust and see what they are going to do. Good luck

No, the law says he is required to give you 90 days notice of any changes to your contract. Go to the ACAS web site for more advice - or speak to someone at your local Citizens Advice Bureau.
