How does that work if the company was being sued? Do they have some kind of reserve to pay current employees with?

Being tied up in a lawsuit does not grind a company to a halt. Most of the Fortune 500 is probably getting sued right now for some reason or another. Also, when a company loses a lawsuit, the court doesn’t automatically debit the damages from the company. Winning a case and collecting damages are 2 very different things.

Thanks for the explanation, wasn't sure how that kind of thing works.

Yes. That's literally the reason most of us deal with bullshit at our dayjobs every day.
