## Frequently asked questions

Common questions about our severance agreement review

- **Q:** What does this severance agreement review tool check?
  **A:** It analyzes the severance pay amount and payment timing, the scope of the release and waiver of claims, continued benefits and COBRA, non-disparagement and confidentiality obligations, any reaffirmed non-compete or non-solicitation covenants, the agreed reference, and the return-of-property requirements. Both parties’ obligations are extracted and listed.

- **Q:** Does it flag the release of claims and ADEA review window?
  **A:** Yes. The release is the heart of a severance agreement, so the tool explains the scope of the claims you would waive. For employees aged 40 or older in the US, it checks for the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act terms — typically a 21-day (or 45-day for group layoffs) period to consider the agreement and a 7-day window to revoke after signing — and flags if they appear to be missing.

- **Q:** Will it show what I am giving up, like a non-compete or references?
  **A:** It surfaces obligations that survive your departure: non-disparagement, confidentiality, any reaffirmed or new non-compete and non-solicitation covenants, the agreed reference (neutral vs. positive), and the deadline to return company property. These are the trade-offs for the severance payment, so the tool highlights them.

- **Q:** How long does the severance agreement analysis take?
  **A:** Most severance agreements are analyzed in under 30 seconds.

- **Q:** What file formats can I upload?
  **A:** PDF and Word (DOCX) files are both supported.

- **Q:** Is my severance agreement data secure?
  **A:** Yes. Your document is transmitted over TLS encryption, processed by AI providers under terms that exclude training on your data, and deleted from our servers within 24 hours.
