If you're contemplating filing for bankruptcy, it's understandable to be concerned about your privacy. Debt is nothing to be ashamed of, but keeping your private life out of the office is often a wise choice.
Employers are not usually notified when a Chapter 7 case is filed. However, the trustee in a Chapter 7 case often contacts an employer seeking information as to the status of the person’s wages or salary at the time the case was filed or to verify a person’s current monthly income.
If there are compelling reasons for not informing an employer in a particular case, the trustee should be notified. He or she may be willing to make other arrangements to obtain the necessary information.
