Problem
Canadian employees who are terminated from their jobs often lack a clear understanding of their legal rights and entitlements beyond statutory minimums. Employment contracts contain complex termination clauses, and common-law notice periods vary widely based on factors like age, tenure, and position, making it difficult for individuals to assess whether an employer's severance offer is fair.
Solution
MySeverance offers a digital platform that reads employment agreements and termination letters, then guides users through a short questionnaire to fill any gaps. The system uses AI to extract key terms while computing statutory entitlements in code against the applicable legislation, ensuring consistent and accurate calculations. Common-law notice ranges are benchmarked against decided court cases rather than model impressions, and every demand letter or Small Claims Court claim is reviewed and signed off by a licensed Ontario lawyer before release. Users receive a structured STAR Report showing what they are owed and why, with the option to generate an employer demand letter or a completed Form 7A for Small Claims Court.
Target Audience
Primary users are terminated employees in Ontario and Quebec who want to understand their legal entitlements and assess severance offers without immediately retaining a lawyer, as well as those preparing to negotiate with employers or file Small Claims Court claims.
