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.
