Well, actually, this is a pretty complex question which (in part) turns on the underlying business deal. You say one employer is selling the hotel, but do not say how it is being sold. Is this an asset-purchase? Is this a stock sale? Is this just a remote "buy this 50 billion dollar hotel and ask no questions about it?" Depending on the structure of the transaction, in some cases all liability passes to the new owner, in some cases none of the liability passes to the new owner and in some cases the liability may be "joint and several" meaning that the employee can go against both the new owner and the old owner.
