How hard is this claim to file?
✅ You do not need to file — payment is automatic.
Watch out for
- The only official settlement website is www.EqualPaySettlement.com — do not respond to unsolicited emails or texts claiming to be from this settlement.
- If you opted out during the notice period, you will receive no payment and cannot reverse that decision now that the court has granted final approval.
- Payment amounts are calculated from HPE's payroll records; if those records are incomplete or wrong for your tenure, use the Enhancement Request process — do not assume the estimate in the notice is final.
- Taxes are withheld before you receive the payment, so your take-home will be less than the gross figure shown in your personal notice.
We prepare — you file on the official site yourself. This is not legal advice and is not an eligibility decision; the administrator and court decide.
How do I file a claim for this settlement?
No claim form is needed — Atticus Administration issues this refund automatically; confirm your eligibility and contact details on the official source.
-
1Check whether you fall into the excluded groups: recent college hires (as defined in the notice), anyone who signed an arbitration agreement with HPE, or anyone who already signed a waiver and release — if any of those apply, you are not in the class.
-
2If you want your payment delivered digitally instead of by check, log in to the Payment Options portal at www.EqualPaySettlement.com before the payment is issued.
-
3If you believe your individual payment should be higher (for example, HPE's records may be missing compensation you earned), submit a Request for Monetary Enhancement through the Enhancement Request login page at www.EqualPaySettlement.com.
-
4Keep an eye on www.EqualPaySettlement.com for the payment mailing date — the site is administered by Atticus Administration and will post updates.
-
5When your payment arrives, note that it will be reduced by applicable taxes withheld at source; the net amount will be lower than your gross individual estimate.

Common questions
Is the Ross & Rogus v HPE settlement legitimate?
Yes — the Ross & Rogus v HPE settlement is a real claims process that SettleSignal tracks from its official source. It is administered by Atticus Administration under case 18 CV 337830 in Santa Clara County Superior Court. File only through the official settlement website (www.equalpaysettlement.com); a genuine settlement administrator never charges a fee to file. SettleSignal last checked this record against the official source on June 17, 2026. Always confirm the current details on the official site before filing.
Who may qualify for this settlement?
Women actively employed in California by Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company at any point from November 1, 2015 through the date of Preliminary Approval (November 3, 2022) in one of the job codes listed on Exhibit A, excluding recent college hires and those who signed a waiver/release or arbitration agreement.
How much can I get from the Ross & Rogus v HPE settlement?
$8,500,000 gross fund; approximately $5,191,666.67 net available for distribution to class members. The exact amount you may receive is decided by the settlement administrator based on your valid claim and is not guaranteed; a total settlement-fund figure is shared among all eligible claimants, not paid to each person.
Do I need proof to claim?
Proof requirement: No. The settlement administrator determines what documentation, if any, is required.
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.
