Due to the impact of the epidemic, a large number of employees of Foxconn returned home. In order to retain employees, Foxconn significantly increased the salary of employees who chose to accept closed-loop measures during the outbreak.
Zhengzhou Foxconn factory has forced Foxconn to suddenly implement closed-loop production, using policies and rules to minimize the spread of the virus. However, a large number of employees still choose to return home to avoid the impact of the epidemic. It is reported that Foxconn has provided more incentives to workers to ensure normal production during the lockdown period. The daily bonus for employees who choose to stay at the factory increased from the initial $100 a day to $400 in November. The bonus is to keep employees on site, not to go home. Foxconn has set up a team to transfer confirmed infections to quarantine areas to ensure the safety of other healthy employees.
At the peak of production, the largest iPhone production line may expand to 350,000 people, but the current population is not yet clear. It is believed that epidemic measures will have an impact of up to 30% on iPhone production, and Foxconn has postponed planned seasonal production cuts until later this year.
