WESCO Canada is the Canadian arm of WESCO International, Inc. (WESCO), which is an American multinational electrical distribution and services company.
Founded in 1922, WESCO employs a total workforce of more than 18,000 people, according to the company’s website. Approximately 2,000 workers are located in Canada.
Headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the company has locations in major cities across Canada, including Vancouver, Edmonton, Toronto, Markham, and Montreal.
In June 2020, WESCO completed its multibillion dollar acquisition of Anixter, which is a supplier of goods and services for communications, security, networking, audio-visual, and industrial control applications.
In Canada, non-unionized employees at WESCO 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.
