Newell Brands Inc. (Newell Brands) is an American consumer goods company with a strong portfolio of well-known brands, including Sharpie, Paper Mate, Rubbermaid, and Yankee Candle.
With roots going back to 1903, Newell Brands employs a total workforce of approximately 28,000 people, according to its website.
Roles at the Atlanta-based company include marketing professionals, sales representatives, administrative staff, human resources employees, and customer service representatives.
In Canada, non-unionized employees at Newell Brands can get up to 24 months of severance pay when they are fired or laid off from their job.
This includes individuals working full-time, part-time, and hourly in Ontario, Alberta, or B.C.
Severance is the compensation a non-unionized worker in Canada receives from their employer when they are fired without cause.
Even if you are fired for cause, it’s very likely that you are still entitled to full severance pay because employees often don’t meet the conditions necessary for this type of dismissal.
