Need advice on employee rights during Ch. 11

My girlfriend works at a company called Telequest, which recently declared Chapter 11. She found out today that she won't be paid anytime soon for the last week's work. Not only that, but her last paycheck bounced, so she is about $350 in the hole, including the bank fees! We have already started looking for another job for her, but what can she do about collecting the back pay? Is Telequest required to pay the overdrawn fees, too? We live in Kentucky, if that's any help. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

My response:

1. Make sure you file a creditor's claim.

2. Sue the person who signed the check in Small Claims Court.

How does one go about filing a creditor's claim? Is that through the company, or through a bankruptcy lawyer?

Thanks!

By no means am I a lawyer but I am going through something similar. You can find a form online I think it's $5.00 this is a proof of claim that a creditor would file if there are assets to be distributed. I would double check with some other people but I believe that is the creditors claim that they are referring too... Hope this helps... If someone thinks or knows that I am wrong please point this out!

My response:

Look at your "Notice to Creditor". There are instructions on the form for filing a timely claim, and the form to use. Read it thoroughly. This is, of course, assuming you were notified by the court as a creditor of the debtor. You would file the Claim directly with the court.

Also, you can, as stated above, get the proper form off of the Net, or go to the Federal courthouse and get the form from the Clerk at the filing window.
