Foxconn said that after working there for at least 90 days, new workers at its Zhengzhou, China, facility would be qualified for bonuses of up to 3,000 yuan ($424; £343). It indicates that current employees also qualify for a prize if they successfully refer a friend or family member. In September, the iPhone 15 is anticipated to be released. It represents the most recent action the Taiwanese manufacturer took to enhance benefits for the numerous employees in iPhone City.
Foxconn staff will now receive 500 yuan if they propose new hiring, according to a message posted by the BBC on the popular Chinese messaging app WeChat. The company has yet to respond quickly to a BBC request for input, reports Technology News UK.
At the Zhengzhou facility last year, hundreds of workers demonstrated against Covid limitations and accusations of unpaid wages. Videos circulated online in October also depicted someone scaling the fence in front of the Foxconn facility after it had been closed due to a coronavirus epidemic. Apple issued a warning in November that the iPhone 14’s delivery would be delayed due to Chinese authorities isolating the iPhone City neighbourhood in Zhengzhou. The iPhone manufacturer then lured new hires with assurances of larger bonuses.
