Workers 40 and older are entitled to 21 days to consider a severance offer under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act. Our analyzer confirms whether this applies to you.

Equity Treatment
Identifies what happens to unvested RSUs, stock options, and exercise windows at termination — a critical detail often glossed over in negotiations.
Non-Disparagement Scope
Reviews whether the agreement restricts what you can say publicly, whether it's mutual, and whether it extends to social media.
Reference & Record
Checks whether the employer has committed to a neutral or positive reference, and what your official termination classification will be.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to sign the severance agreement immediately?
No. If you are 40 or older, the ADEA requires employers to give you at least 21 days to review the agreement (45 days for group layoffs). You also have 7 days to revoke after signing. Don't let anyone pressure you to sign immediately.
Is the severance amount negotiable?
Often yes, especially if you have claims worth waiving. Our analysis identifies what claims you'd be releasing, which gives you a sense of your negotiating leverage. If you have strong discrimination or wrongful termination claims, the value of your release is higher.
What does a non-disparagement clause mean for me?
It typically means you can't make negative public statements about your employer after leaving. Our analyzer checks whether the clause is mutual (binding on the employer too), how broadly it's worded, and whether it extends to social media platforms.
What if I think I was wrongfully terminated?
Signing a severance agreement typically waives your right to sue. If you believe you were terminated illegally, consult an employment attorney before signing — the severance amount may be far less than what you could recover in a legal claim.
