Promised $30/hr To Train For A Job, But When First Paycheck Was Due, The Owner Refused To Pay Anything

Location: California.

I'm posting on behalf of my father-in-law who is in the trucking industry. A few weeks ago he started working as a sub-hauler for a local trucking company. He signed a contract to become a sub-hauler and filled out a W9, but he needed to get some specialized equipment installed before he could start moving loads in his own truck. In the meantime, he was told that he would get paid $30/hr to train on the equipment and pick up trailers from other locations. Today he was due to receive his first paycheck, but the owner is refusing to pay him anything, and is apparently refusing to communicate about it any further. He doesn't have a copy of the sub-hauler contract he signed (apparently the guy wouldn't let him take any pictures out of fear of someone else copying his contract? sounds fishy...). He does have copies of the timesheet that they had him filling out for the past two weeks though.

My assumption is that they can't get out of paying him at all, but what should be his first steps here? TIA!
