This page explains how some of your other HPE benefits and pay programs are affected when you leave.
Your disability plan coverage ends on your termination date. However, any disability benefit payments you’re currently receiving will continue as long as you qualify for disability payments under the terms of the plan (as determined by Matrix, our Short-Term Disability administrator, or Reliance Standard, our Long-Term Disability administrator).
If you’ve been covered by HPE’s Long-Term Disability insurance for at least 12 straight months and meet certain other requirements, you can convert Long-Term Disability coverage to an individual policy. You must submit an application generally within 31 days following your termination date. You will receive a letter from Reliance Standard with application information after your termination date.
To learn more about HPE Long- and Short-Term Disability coverage, see the summary plan description.
Your HPE EAP benefits generally end at midnight on your termination date. However, you’ll continue to be eligible for EAP benefits if you continue HPE medical coverage through COBRA.
If you leave HPE for any reason, either voluntary or involuntary, you will not receive pay in lieu of unused vacation. Unless your primary work location is in one of the exception states of California, Colorado, Illinois, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, or Rhode Island, all unused vacation will be forfeited at the time of your separation.
If you have used more vacation time than has been credited to you (including Vacation Buy time you have not yet paid for), the excess hours will be deducted from your final earnings statement where permitted by law. However, if you purchased time under the Vacation Buy Program, any time you have paid for but not used will be refunded to you, regardless of where you work.
If your primary work location is in an exception state of California, Colorado, Illinois, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, or Rhode Island, any unused credited vacation, including remaining Excess Flexible Time Off (FTO) banks, will be paid to you using your current hourly base pay rate. If you are a commissioned salesperson, your unused hours will also be paid using your current base pay rate, and you may qualify for payments separately based on the terms of your incentive program. Upon termination, any hours/dollars paid to you are considered to be a bonus and are taxed at the bonus rate.
Unused paid sick time isn’t eligible for payout, except where required by state law. Unused floating holiday time also isn’t eligible for payout, except where required by state law (currently limited to California, Illinois, Massachusetts, Montana, and Nebraska). Upon termination, these hours/dollars are considered to be a bonus to you and are taxed at the bonus rate.
If you’ve used paid sick time that exceeds what has been credited to you, the amount of the excess hours will be deducted from your final earnings statement where permitted by law.
Any credited but unused holiday bank hours for team members on an Alternate Work Schedule will be paid to you in your final earnings statement. Upon termination, these hours/dollars are considered to be a bonus to you and are taxed at the bonus rate. If you’ve used holiday bank hours that exceed what has been credited to you, the amount of the excess hours will be deducted from your final earnings statement where permitted by law.
Eligibility for the program ends on your termination date. All claims for eligible expenses must be submitted to the HPE Benefits Center before your termination date.
Business Travel Insurance ends on your termination date.
Eligibility for most Employee Programs ends when you leave HPE. However, if you qualify as a retiree, you continue to be eligible for most offerings, including, but not limited to, the Employee Purchase Program and other employee discount programs.
In addition, your membership in a credit union can continue after you leave HPE, as long as you maintain any minimum balance that may be required by the credit union. If applicable, contact your credit union to make arrangements for continuing payment on any outstanding loans you may have.
If you participate in the Liberty Mutual or Farmers Insurance Auto & Home insurance program, you have the option to continue coverage when you leave. If you don’t take any action, coverage will continue automatically and you’ll receive premium invoices directly from Liberty Mutual or Farmers Insurance.
If you participate in the Legal Insurance program, your coverage ends on your termination date, but you have the option to convert coverage to an individual policy directly with ARAG. If you wish to convert coverage, contact ARAG at

If you're enrolled in the Student Loan Repayment Program, HPE's repayments to the loan service provider stop when you leave or retire. If your termination or retirement date is before the last day of the month, HPE will not make a payment for that incomplete month.
