A bankruptcy court judge in Maryland has approved an emergency motion by a Papa John’s Pizza franchise to pay wages owed to about 1,200 employees.
Paychecks bounced or weren’t distributed this week after PJCOMN Acquisition, which owns 72 Papa John’s Pizza restaurant in Colorado and Minnesota, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on Tuesday.
Today’s ruling unfreezes bank accounts affecting payroll of $290,531.05 for Sept. 12-18 that should have been distributed this week, a similar amount for the Sept. 19-25 period to be paid Tuesday, and $$133,530.56 for outstanding checks not yet deposited.
