I don't know other states, but in California, managers are personally liable for paying their employees. The penalties are steep. If the company doesn't pay you, anyone who knew that employees were working without the company's ability to pay them has committed a felony and either must pay back wages or will go to prison. You will get paid. I've had managers tell me the company was broke, and to go home right now, then quit themselves right there.
