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.

Risks that can be hidden in this document

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.

What you gain after scanning

Understand what you are waiving by signing
