As a rule, an employer must pay for any work for hire. It does not matter if the employment lasted only minutes: the employer must pay the agreed-upon wages. So you father can go to court and file a complaint. If he can prove that he was hired and started working, the court will order the company to pay up to 300% of what it owes your father.
