Foxconn hiring workers, offering bonus

The Foxconn plant in Zhengzhou, Henan province, expects to hire more workers to meet production peak demand.

The world's largest Apple iPhone assembly plant faced a shortage of hands after many workers resigned due to the COVID-19 outbreak. It aims to attract employees by offering various subsidies.

New employees need to be quarantined in centralized management locations for three days. Those who are quarantined from Nov 9 to 19 can receive a subsidy of 1,600 yuan ($227), after they work for 15 days, according to a recruiting advertisement released by the company on Saturday.
