Employment and
salary verification
Keep in mind that Micro Focus is a completely separate
company from HPE
-- not a successor corporation to HPE.
Not always obvious: Which
HP-related companies am I a retiree or former employee of? HPInc, Hewlett
Packard Enterprise, Agilent, Compaq, DEC, DXC, EDS,
Keysight, Micro Focus,
Tandem... or multiple companies?
Given HP's complex history of acquisitions, divestitures,
and spinoffs, the company that you are legally a former
employee of may not be obvious.
Before contacting one of the HP-related companies, check
