Termination Notice
When you receive a termination notice, every word matters — especially what isn’t in it.
A termination notice ends the employment relationship, but it also contains (or should contain) your rights to severance, COBRA, equity vesting, and reference letters. BrieflyGo checks what’s present, what’s missing, and what has been slipped in.

What risks are detected
Severance tied to releases
Accepting severance typically means waiving all claims — you must evaluate whether the amount is fair.
Accelerated equity expiry
Stock options may expire in 30–90 days post-termination — often not clearly communicated.
Aggressive NDA scope
Post-termination NDAs can prevent you discussing your experience with future employers or journalists.
Missing legal notices
Employers are required by law to provide WARN Act notice, COBRA details, and final paycheck information.
