Do a company have to pay for hours worked if they file bankruptcy?
Yes... sort of. The employees are considered creditors of the company, so getting them paid is part of the bankruptcy proceedings. The bankruptcy court will determine which debts get paid and at what percentage. The basic rules are that secured debts (mortgages, for example) get paid first, but back wages are in the second tier of priority, and each employee gets a priority amount of around $10000 (the amount changes periodically; I'm not sure what the current amount is). If they're owed more than the priority amount, then the excess gets put further back in line, and may be paid at a lower rate (or not at all).
