Typically what will happen is the employer (debtor) will request court approval to pay the pre-filing wage claims ahead of other creditors, so my guess is that you will get your back wages in the relatively near future. If not, you will need to file a claim in the bankruptcy case and you will get paid whenever the Plan is approved, which could be quite some time.
