If My Employer Is Declared Bankrupt, Will I Get Paid?

Question: If my employer is declared bankrupt, will I get paid?

Answer:

This will depend on whether the bankrupt business has sufficient funds to pay outstanding wages. When an entity goes bankrupt or insolvent they may not have sufficient funds to pay creditors, including employees.
