Which company is responsible for employee issues after the HP/HPE breakup?

Website operated by volunteers. Not officially endorsed or supported. Question? Email: info@hpalumni.org  (Apr 18, 2024)

HP Inc. is the overall legal successor to companies acquired by Hewlett-Packard before the company was split into HP Inc and Hewlett Packard Enterprise on Nov 1, 2015. In general, responsibility for commitments to former U.S. employees of Compaq, DEC, EDS, etc. remain with HP Inc. – regardless of whether the employee's last business unit ended up in HP or HPE. (Canada and UK: HPE. Other countries vary. Country-by-country details)

There is a 29-page agreement between HPE and HPInc on "employee matters" -- such as responsibility for pensions, incentive programs, severance, etc. -- covering each country where HP had employees.

Scroll down to Exhibit 2.4 -- the "EMPLOYEE MATTERS AGREEMENT by and between HELWETT-PACKARD [sic] COMPANY and HEWLETT PACKARD ENTERPRISE COMPANY" ["Hewlett" is spelled correctly in the rest of the document.]
