So I'm, assuming that you're a member of staff rather thana contractor given that you have stated you get paid monthly.

Your question is a difficult one because even if you haven't actually signed a contract, it is often regarded that after 3 months of employment, because you haven't asked for one, you have accepted the terms and conditions of the business anyway, unless you have signed anything to the contray.

Dependent on your company, you might want to try handing in your notice and (assuming you want to go before the standard notice period - likely to be 4 weeks/1 month unless you're very senior...although if that were the case, I'm sure they would have insisted you sign a contract) stating that because you haven't signed a contract, you do not believe you are required to give a notice so will be leaving on DATE. And see what they say.

You could always just walk out (they're unlikely to commence legal procedings) if you don't get what you want but bear in mind it's always good to leave a company on good terms (referencing purposes later down the line) so perhaps you can negotiate to suit both parties.
If you are paid monthly, you normally have to give one month's notice.
