What can I do I worked at a hotel approximately a month and a half ago but have yet to receive my paycheck?
It was for 1 1/2 days. This caused me to almost have my power turned off; I had to borrow the money to cover it. They have discriminated against me.

If you have not received your paycheck, then you can sue your employer in small claims court and/or file a complaint with your state's department of labor. That having been said, there will be a cost for a lawsuit, so you will have to decide if it's worth it. As for discrimination, you gave no specific facts of your situation. At this point, you may want to contact a local attorney and go over the details of your case with them. They can best advise you further.
