The company that I worked for filed bankruptcy after I filed a claim with the FCHR. The outcome of the investigation was "no cause", can I still proceed with the administrative hearing?
1 ANSWER
Yes. It may get stayed pending the outcome of the bankruptcy proceeding and your employer may need to ask the bankruptcy judge for permission to pay any judgment. To fully answer the question, it would be helpful to know the type of bankruptcy proceeding and other information that is part of the bankruptcy record.
