Questions, answered
Is this legal advice?
No. The Severance Playbook Tool is educational information based on general US federal employment law and common state patterns. It is not legal advice and does not create an attorney-client relationship. If you believe you were treated unlawfully or the amounts are significant to you, speak to a licensed employment attorney in your state.
Is my information private?
Yes. Your answers are tied to your account and used only to generate your plan. We never sell your data, and we never share it with your employer. You can delete all of your cases and plans at any time.
What if my situation changes?
You can edit your answers and regenerate your plan anytime you have generations remaining. Each plan is saved as a new version, so you can compare them.
Who is it for?
A person in the US who has been offered a severance agreement and wants a calm, practical plan before signing. It is not a substitute for a lawyer when one is needed.
