Employers are prohibited from discriminating against anyone who files for bankruptcy relief. Thousands of people file bankruptcy every month. Most employers have some familiarity with bankruptcy and are not overly concerned about it. In fact, in most Ch. 7 cases, there is no reason for the employer to know that you filed. Individuals whose job requires a high security clearance may have an issue because financial problems may be a legitimate concern regarding job performance and security considerations.
