What is the name of your state? California
I live and work in California, but my employer, a privately held corporation, is located in North Carolina. I am a salaried employee, paid once a month.
On Sept 13, a Friday, a former company executive bought out a bank loan that was in default and took over the company. They are using the existing offices and phone numbers. I didn't know that my employer was poised to file bankruptcy.
The new entity has asked me to continue as an employee.
My questions are: who is responsible for paying my wages for the time period of Sept 1 through Sept 13? Is that handled through the bankruptcy process? Can I file for unemployment benefits, since I wasn't paid but did worked during that period?
I have business expenses on a company issued American Express card incurred in August. Is the new entity responsible for those, or is that also part of the bankruptcy process. Am I responsible for those debts? The bills were sent to the corporate address and were paid by my employer, but my name was also on the card.
There were also other business expenses such as mileage, that I have not been paid for. Can I expect to see those reiumbursed from the bankruptcy filing?
Do I need an attorney? If so, should it be here in CA or in NC?
