The Equal Pay Act and Florida statute 448.07 protect employees from being paid less than the opposite sex for the same job. Exceptions to this law are if (1) the difference in pay is based on a seniority system, (2) a merit system or (3) other factors not based on sex and exercised in good faith. So being paid less as a female manager may warrant a closer look into the facts.
Since you do not state what category the "obvious discrimination" is based upon, I cannot respond to that part of your question. The categories include sex, age, race, color, national origin, religion, disability, genetic make-up, marital status (only in Florida), and sexual orientation (only in certain counties in Florida).

Answer to Final paycheck wage reduced to minimum wage
Not allowedThe employer is not allowed to lower your hourly wage after you have completed the work. The employer can, however, lower your hourly wage before you begin working. In that case, you may decide whether to accept the new wage or quit.
