Legal documents and reading glasses
The Problem
Why This Matters

DENSE LEGALESE.
REAL CONSEQUENCES.

When you're laid off, you receive a document loaded with legal terms — and a countdown clock. Most people either sign without understanding, or spend hundreds of dollars just to have an attorney read it to them.

Employment attorneys charge $300–$500 per hour. SeveranceClarity delivers a thorough plain-English explainer for a fraction of that — within 24 to 48 hours.

We are not attorneys. We are an educational document explainer service. We explain what your agreement says — not what you should do. Always consult a licensed attorney before signing.
What's Included

EVERY CLAUSE,
DECODED.

We go clause by clause and explain what each section actually means — no assumptions, no legalese.

01
Release of Claims
What rights you are permanently waiving by signing — and which claims you are giving up forever.
02
Non-Disparagement
What you can and cannot say about your employer after you leave — and for how long it applies.
03
Confidentiality
What information you must keep private, what counts as a violation, and what the consequences are.
04
Non-Compete Clauses
Whether you're restricted from working in your field, for how long, and in what geography.
05
Benefits Continuation
What happens to your health insurance, 401(k), stock options, vested equity, and PTO balance.
06
Payment Terms
When and how you'll be paid — lump sum vs. installments, and conditions that could forfeit payment.
07
ADEA / OWBPA Compliance
Whether your agreement meets federal requirements for employees over 40, including your revocation right.
08
Cooperation Clauses
Whether you're required to assist with litigation, audits, or investigations after your departure.
09
Return of Property
What you must return, by when, and what happens if property is disputed or claimed to be missing.

We Are Not Attorneys. This Is Not Legal Advice.

SeveranceClarity is a document preparation and educational explainer service. We explain what your severance agreement says in plain language. We do not provide legal advice, legal opinions, or attorney-client representation of any kind. Our reports are educational materials only.

We strongly recommend consulting a licensed employment attorney before making any final decision about signing or rejecting your severance agreement — particularly if your situation involves potential discrimination, retaliation, or disputed claims.

FAQ

COMMON
QUESTIONS.

Is this legal advice?
No. SeveranceClarity is an educational document explainer service. We explain what your agreement says in plain English. We are not attorneys, do not provide legal advice, and do not establish an attorney-client relationship. If you need legal advice, please consult a licensed employment attorney in your state.
How long does it take to receive my report?
We deliver all reports within 24–48 hours of receiving your payment and completed intake form. Most are delivered sooner. You'll receive an email confirmation immediately after submitting.
What file formats do you accept?
We accept PDF, Word (.doc / .docx), and image files (JPG, PNG) of your severance agreement. If you received a physical copy, a clear phone photo works fine.
Is my document kept private?
Yes. Your document is used solely to prepare your explainer report and is not shared with any third parties. We treat all submissions as confidential.
What if I'm over 40? Does that change anything?
Yes — federal law (the ADEA and OWBPA) gives employees over 40 additional protections, including a mandatory 21-day review period and a 7-day revocation window after signing. Our Full Breakdown includes a specific checklist to verify whether your agreement meets these federal requirements.
Which report should I choose?
If you want a clear summary of the main clauses, the Quick Explainer ($147) is a great fit. If you want every clause explained in full detail, red flags identified, and a list of questions to raise with an attorney, choose the Full Breakdown ($347).
What if I have questions after receiving my report?
Reach us at hello@severanceclarity.com. For legal questions about your specific situation, always consult a licensed employment attorney.
