Answer:
Bankruptcy petitions are public records. However, under normal circumstances, unless your employer is a creditor, he or she will not know you filed a bankruptcy petition. If your employer is a creditor, he or she must be listed as a creditor on the schedules and receive notice of the bankruptcy proceeding. Also, in some states chapter 13 debtors are required to make payments through wage garnishment and their employer will thus learn about the bankruptcy when ordered to withhold and remit payments to the trustee.
