I work for a delivery company as a package sorter. Company was closed on Monday 7/7/25. Prior to them shutting down they were supposed to pay us on 7/3/25 but they did not. Spoke to my manager today about our pay and he informed us that their is no update and this is now in bankruptcy court and to file for unemployment.
I currently work another job so I’m assuming i can’t really file for unemployment (please correct me if I’m wrong). How do i go about getting my paycheck? They currently owe us one pay cycle and a half worth of money.

Contact your labor board and they will help you.
You can file for unemployment, you might get some partial unemployment. Just be honest and accurate. It will depend.
File a wage claim with the DLSE. There may be no money to pay anyone, and nobody can get paid if no money exists. But get your filing on record.
Bankruptcy means that the debts and liabilities are more than they can pay.
Right now bankruptcy court will coordinate selling off any remaining assets they have and distribute it to all remaining creditors which you and your former coworkers are now part of.
Unfortunately there’s no magic solution here where everyone gets what’s owed. There’s only a single pot to pay out.
