A: Usually an employer is not advised of the bankruptcy, unless you are in a Chapter 13 and the Trustee orders that the Chapter 13 Plan payments be deducted from your wages directly.

A: Mr. Nachbar is correct. Also, if you owe your employer money then they would be a creditor and should be notified of the bankruptcy case. See a bankruptcy lawyer in your area. They will be able to advise you as to whom will be notified if you file a bankruptcy case. Good luck!
