Foxconn offers ‘record-high’ bonuses to recruits for iPhone 13 assembly

SAN FRANCISCO: Apple’s largest manufacturing partner Foxconn is offering “record-high” signing bonuses in an effort to recruit workers for iPhone 13 production over the next few months, the media reported.

Foxconn is offering up to 8,000 yuan ($1,235) as a signing bonus to former workers willing to return to its Zhengzhou, China factory to assist with iPhone assembly during the “peak season,” up from 5,500 yuan last month and 5,000 yuan in 2020.

Workers will receive their bonuses after working for Foxconn’s iPhone assembly division for four months and staying until the end of the peak season, MacRumors reported, citing the South China Morning Post.
