Employers have a legal obligation to provide pay details to all employees. This is usually in the form of a pay slip but could be online. i think your employer is breaking the law. Check out the DTI website http://www.dti.gov.uk/employment/pay/pay-state ment/index.html
The above is true. I take it you've all roughly had the right amount of money expected? - you just cannot reconcile back to gross pay. If they are actually paying you, the only logical explanation I can think of is that they are withholding PAYE tax and NI payments to the Inland Revenue, perhaps because of cashflow problems. This is bad news. Start raising merry hell through a TU or via Citizens Advice Bureau.
I once worked for a small outfit who paid me without a wage slip. Only when I left the firm did I find they were not fishing out for my NI. To get a full years contributions I had to fork out myself to buy the missing stamps. The job centre hardly bothered about it.
