Roku, Inc. (Roku) is an American multinational company that manufactures a variety of digital media players for video streaming and operates an ad-supported video on demand (VOD) service.
Founded in 2002, the streaming software company employs a total workforce of more than 3,900 people, according to LinkedIn. At least 30 workers are located in Canada.
Roles at Roku include customer service representatives, administrative staff, human resources employees, marketing professionals, and sales representatives.
Headquartered in San Jose, California, the company has offices in major cities around the world, including Toronto, Boston, Amsterdam, Shanghai, and Seoul.
In Canada, non-unionized employees at Roku 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, or hourly in Ontario, Alberta, and B.C.
Severance is the compensation that non-unionized workers in Canada receive 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.
