Ross & Rogus v HPE
If you're a woman who worked at Hewlett Packard Enterprise in California between November 1, 2015 and November 3, 2022 in a qualifying role, you're likely owed a payment — and you don't need to file anything to get it. HPE agreed to an $8.5 million settlement over equal pay claims, and the court granted final approval on April 28, 2023.
$8,500,000 gross fund; approximately $5,191,666.67 net available for distribution to class members
The gross settlement fund is $8.5 million. After attorneys' fees, administration costs, and other deductions, approximately $5,191,666.67 is available for distribution. Your individual payment is calculated based on your proportionate share of wages, bonuses, and equity paid by HPE from November 1, 2015 to September 1, 2022 in a qualifying job code — so the more you earned relative to other covered employees during that period, the larger your share.

Where is the official Ross & Rogus v HPE claim form?
No claim form is needed — Settlement Class Members are automatically identified from HPE's HR records (Workday) and receive payment without filing a claim; the "Do Nothing" option results in receiving payment. Never pay a fee to claim a settlement payment.
Do I need to submit a claim form?
No. The settlement is automatic. If HPE's records show you qualify, you'll receive a payment without filling out anything. You only need to act if you want to opt out or if you'd like to request a payment enhancement.
How is my payment amount determined?
It's based on your proportionate share of total compensation (wages, bonuses, and equity) paid by HPE from November 1, 2015 to September 1, 2022, compared to the combined compensation of all covered employees over the same period. HPE's records feed directly into the calculation.
What if I signed an arbitration agreement when I joined HPE?
You're excluded from the settlement. The same applies if you signed a general waiver or release of employment claims. If you're unsure what you signed, check your onboarding paperwork or contact the settlement administrator.
Can I get a larger payment than the automatic amount?
Yes, there's a monetary enhancement request option. Log in at EqualPaySettlement.com under 'Request for Monetary Enhancement' to submit additional information that may increase your individual payment.
What claims does this settlement resolve?
It covers claims that HPE violated California's Equal Pay Act, failed to pay all wages owed to departing employees, and engaged in unfair business practices related to pay equity. By staying in the settlement, you give up your right to sue HPE separately over these same claims.
Where to act
When you are ready, you open the official claim form yourself. SettleSignal does not file claims or determine eligibility.
