Legal Question in Employment Law in Iowa

My boyfriend works at an auto shop, as a mechanic. His boss informed him today, Friday, payday, that he has no money to pay his wages for the time he's worked. He is to be paid weekly. What can we do to get his pay? We have a small child to support and need that paycheck. Please Help!
