Foxconn employs a workforce in its operations in China that is comprised of a combination of full-time employees and dispatch workers.  In addition, in some locations, we have an established, short-term internship program that we carry out in cooperation with local governments and vocational schools.  In all cases and with all types of workers, we offer an industry-competitive salary and related benefits that significantly exceeds government-mandated levels.

We work hard to comply with all relevant laws and regulations across all our operations.  We can confirm that a recent review of our operations at our facility in Zhengzhou did identify some workforce compliance issues. As soon as we received the results of that review, we immediately began a detailed process to ensure that all issues were addressed.  At no time did we find any evidence of forced labor and we can confirm that this facility currently has no interns working overtime.

We did find evidence that the use of dispatch workers and the number of hours of overtime work carried out by employees, which we have confirmed was always voluntary, was not consistent with company guidelines. We did determine that the affected workers were paid all earned overtime and related bonus payments.

Our work to address the issues identified in our Zhengzhou facility continues and we will closely monitor the situation. We will not hesitate to take any additional steps that might be required to meet the high standards we set for our operations.
