A day after hundreds of workers of the largest iPhone factory, Foxconn admitted a 'technical error' and it's now offering $1,400 payouts.
says Foxconn is offering workers around $1,400 to leave the Zhengzhou plant as it still faces labor shortages amid a COVID-19 outbreak.
The offers to some recently recruited workers came as authorities in Zhengzhou prepared to impose a five-day lockdown of the city from the end of Thursday in a bid to curb the spread of COVID-19. Foxconn told all employees Wednesday night, in a text message seen by Nikkei, that the company would accommodate those who “hoped to resign” and pay them 10,000 yuan each, including salary, quarantine fees and travel costs to return home, in an effort to calm the situation.
About the promised bonus, Foxconn said that it was delayed due to “a technical error” that occurred during the onboarding process. “We fully understand the concerns of some newly recruited employees in the Zhengzhou Park about possible changes in the subsidy policy… We apologize for an input error in the computer system and guarantee that the actual pay is the same as agreed and [on] the official recruitment posters,” the statement said.will report once we learn how the new lockdown will affect Foxconn and Apple and whether the manufacturer is paying its workers.
