Can I use my employer for lack of proper income documentation, costing me a loan?

My employer has not provided me a pay
stub in the two years I have been
employed. I recently applied for a loan
and was unable to complete my
application because she would not
provide me with adequate proof of
income.

No, you cannot sue your employer for this. A person can only be sued for violating some duty they owe another person (including, in the case of personal injury, a basic duty to take care so as to not hurt others). However, your employer owes you no duty to provide documentation for loans or otherwise support you in getting a loan; the law doesn't obligate her to do this, so you cannot sue her.
