Legal Question in Employment Law in California

My former employer owes me back pay and reimbersments on receipts that add up to around $12,000. I know for a fact that she has no money, no business assets, nothing. If she files the company banckrupt will she still have to re pay me. She had a buisness partner that has now dumped her. Will they go after his other company? Need to know what steps to take.
