Does changing from chapter 11 bankruptcy to 13 change a persons right to be repaid for salary and wages?

I'm in maryland. The owner of the restaurant that I worked at filed chapter 11 and closed the restaurant. I was never paid. Now it is being changed to a chapter 13.

In either chapter, if you are owed wages by the actual debtor, you have a priority claim that has to be paid in full in a plan. If the wages were owed by a corporation owned by the debtor, you still have your claim against that entity, but it will not be paid through the bankruptcy.
