Is an employer legally required to furnish wage statements for each pay period?
My employer stopped giving printed wage statements as a cost savings measure. The employer is not furnishing an on-line site where we can check and / or print our wage statements for each pay period. We have no way of checking our information for each pay period.

Breakdown policies with respect to an employee's periodic pay is determined by his nor her employer. Unfortunately for you there is no actual requirement that your employer must furnish wage statements breaking down the pay of each employer with respect to deductions concerning each pay period.
At the end of the year you are entitled to a W-2 breaking down your deductions with respect to your total pay as a matter of law.
