Your employer needs to know whether the vendor filed for Chapter 7, 13 or 11 bankruptcy protection. Your employer's rights to collect will vary depending on the type of bankruptcy filed. Once it is determined the type of bankruptcy the vendor is in, your employer may file a claim for the amount owed with the bankruptcy court where the vendor filed.
In addition to what Mr. Jordan says, if you are a regular employee, you should be entitled to your wages regardless of the vendor's payment. You might contact the State's Division of Labor Standards Enforcement to discuss your rights.
