Fiverr International Layoffs: September 2025 Update + Severance Rights - Samfiru Tumarkin LLP
Latest Fiverr Layoff Update
September 2025
- Fiverr International (Fiverr) is eliminating approximately 30% of its workforce as it looks to become an “AI-first company.”
In Canada, non-unionized employees at the online marketplace are entitled to significant compensation (up to 24 months’ pay) when fired or let go. This includes salary, bonuses, commissions, and benefits.
A wrongful dismissal occurs if Fiverr terminates you without cause — or incorrectly “for cause” — and doesn’t provide the correct amount of severance pay.
Laid off at Fiverr? 5 Key Steps
- Don’t sign anything on the spot: Carefully review all documents, including your severance offer. Deadlines from employers aren’t legally binding.
- Keep relevant documentation: Save any termination letters, severance offers, and employer communications.
- Use the Severance Pay Calculator: This tool will help you determine whether you’re being offered the correct amount of compensation.
- Contact an employment lawyer: The experienced team at Samfiru Tumarkin LLP will ensure you receive the severance pay you’re legally entitled to — not a dollar less.
- Start searching for comparable employment: This helps mitigate income loss and shows good faith in your claim.
