TIP: Have all major-care or orthodontia estimates pre-approved by Manulife to avoid surprises. Just ask your dentist.
Life Insurance
You automatically receive a minimum of $25,000 or one times your salary for life insurance; however, you may choose to purchase up to 12 times your annual pay in coverage.
You can choose life insurance for you, your spouse and your children. This coverage provides additional financial protection for situations where death results from natural causes.

AD&D Insurance
HPE provides you with accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D) insurance. You automatically receive $25,000 or one times your salary in AD&D coverage; however, you can purchase up to seven times your annual pay for benefits to a maximum of $1.7 million.
This provides additional financial protection for situations where death or dismemberment results from an accident. You can choose AD&D insurance protection for you, your spouse and your children.

Disability Insurance
If you are sick and unable to work, you may be eligible to receive short-term disability coverage. HPE also provides you with four different long-term disability (LTD) coverage options.
LTD coverage provides income protection if you become totally disabled due to illness or injury.

Unused Flex Dollars
If your benefits selections leave you with excess HPE Flex Dollars, you can allocate the excess to your Health Care Spending Account (HCSA), your Group RRSP Account or as Taxable Cash.
How Flex Works
You choose the benefits and the level of coverage that are right for you and your family. Each year, Hewlett Packard Enterprise gives you Flex Dollars that you can use to purchase the benefits you need.
Depending on your benefit choices, you may have flex dollars left over to deposit into either a Health Care Spending Account (HCSA) or your Group RRSP Account, or to take as Taxable Cash. And the best part is that you can change your choices each year as your needs change.
Eligibility
Dependents who are eligible for coverage under your plan include your spouse and any eligible children. Learn more about eligible dependents on the HPE Benefits Enrollment Tool. Access the HPE Benefits Enrollment Tool from HPE Benefits Connect.
