Things worth understanding

Examples of what Legibly surfaces in documents of this type — so you know what questions to ask.

  • Broad non-compete clauses that restrict your next role
  • Discretionary bonuses with no objective criteria
  • IP assignment covering work done outside employment
  • No severance on without-cause termination
  • Unilateral amendment — employer can change terms without consent
  • Mandatory arbitration of employment disputes

Legibly describes what a document says. Whether any clause affects your rights or obligations is a question for a qualified professional in your province.

Private by design

Your file is analyzed in memory and immediately discarded. Only the plain-English summary is saved. Your document is never stored, indexed, or shared.

Common questions

Can Legibly analyze offer letters and NDAs too?

Yes — offer letters, full employment agreements, NDAs, and contractor agreements are all supported.

Is this a substitute for an employment lawyer review?

No. For significant compensation packages or restrictive non-competes, a 1-hour review with an employment lawyer is worth the investment. Legibly helps you know which questions to ask.
