Every clause that matters, flagged and explained

⚖️

Release scope

What claims you're waiving — discrimination, wage claims, wrongful termination, ERISA. Are there carve-outs for EEOC/NLRB charges? A release without carve-outs is broader than it needs to be.

📋

ADEA/OWBPA compliance

If you're 40+, you have federal rights: 21-day consideration period (45 days if group layoff), 7-day revocation window, required age/job-unit disclosures in RIF. We check all of it.

🚫

Non-compete & non-solicitation

Duration, geographic scope, enforceability by state (California voids most non-competes; NY has new limits post-2024). What you're giving up and whether it holds up.

💰

Negotiation leverage

What's typically negotiable: enhanced severance, equity acceleration, extended COBRA subsidy, outplacement services, neutral reference letter. Most employers have room — most employees never ask.

🩺

Benefits cliff

COBRA continuation dates, life insurance conversion options, equity vesting schedule relative to your last day. Missing a cliff by two weeks can cost thousands.

🚩

Red flags

No ADEA revocation window, overly broad non-disparagement (one-way only), clawback triggers on new employment, missing reference commitment, no consideration for prior claims.

Found a clawback clause that would have required repaying 6 months of severance if I joined a competitor. Negotiated it out.

Frequently asked

Is this legal advice?

No. This is analysis and information. For complex situations — disputed termination, discrimination claims, executive agreements above $200K — you should consult an employment attorney. We tell you when the attorney threshold is warranted.

How long does the analysis take?

About 60-90 seconds after you paste your agreement text. The result is structured, not a wall of text.

Is Severance Analyzer worth $149?

Employment attorneys charge $300–$600/hr for severance reviews. A thorough review takes 1–2 hours. At $149, you get the same structured analysis instantly. One negotiation leverage point typically returns $2,000–$10,000 in additional severance.

What if I don't get results?

If the analysis does not surface at least one specific clause worth examining — a red flag, ADEA issue, or negotiation leverage point — email us within 7 days for a full refund.
