Lønmodtagernes Garantifond ... or a trade union(?) may pay the employees on certain terms, until they are entitled to
unemployment benefit or find new jobs.
LG would then take over the claim to any dividend.
I don´t know all the details.
You do not say in your context WHO pays the claims, but wage claims are high in the priorities for any dividends when the bankrupt estate is finally wound up.
