Managers liable for payroll even after a bankruptcy

A federal appellate court in San Francisco has ruled that the managers of a company under bankruptcy, chapter 11 or 7 are still liable for employee’s unpaid wages under the federal law. The 9th US circuit court of appeals has made this ruling, overturning a lower court ruling on the issue in the case of Boucher v/s Shaw.

The case has been remanded for further proceedings. The court also affirmed the previous lower court ruling that the managers were not liable under the Nevada state law.
