Hello,

At the end of August, the company I was working for declared bankruptcy. It was an LLC, and the case is still going on in Nebraska bankruptcy court.

They paid my final paycheck, but I have not been paid 40 hours of PTO.

According to a representative at the Nebraska Board of Labor, the company is not required to pay this, however Nebraska State law states that there is no exception to a rule stating that companies must pay PTO to employees who have been let go.

The representative also suggested that I file a claim on the bankruptcy court website, but there is a lot of jargon and language that I don't understand, and I don't want to be responsible for filing a fraudulent claim.

Can anyone help with some answers or advice?

Thanks
