Can an employer stop paying because of slow software development?.

• start up company.
• no written contract.
• employer doesn't want to fire anyone at least.

This is probably just a threat to speed up the development team.

While I would advise putting out feelers for alternative work, you should be doing that anyway since you don't have a contract.

Apart from that you can just keep working until such time as this becomes more than an empty threat and they actually attempt to enforce it, which is probably never.

Jumping up and down before then isn't productive.

Working without a contract has benefits and drawbacks. But it also means that you can walk out whenever you want without repercussions, and non payment would be a walking reason.
