Apple Is Giving a Hefty Bonus to Employees That Are Willing to Work from China

Nov. 15, 2020

Although Apple can bepretty mean to leaker-employees, the company doestake care of thosewho work diligently. Earlier this year, following theworld-changing pandemic, we saw the Cupertino tech giantsend care-packages to its employees working in China. Now, Apple is reportedly giving hefty bonuses to encourage employees to return to China for business purposes.

According to a recent report, Apple lifted its travel restrictions for employees flying to China back in October. Since then, the iPhone-makers are reportedly giving voluntary employees traveling to the Asian countrya hefty bonus to bear with the COVID-protection protocols in China.

Previously, Apple employees traveling to China could take a 10-day business trip and return to the States. However, according to new protocols,any employee traveling to the country needs to stay for at least six weeks, as they would have to stay isolated for the first two.

During these two isolation-weeks, the employees would be staying in a budget hotel chosen by the company. They will not get any restaurant delivery and will only have to eat stale Irish lamb stew made by the China Eastern Airlines staff. Moreover, with the lack of laundry service,the employees need to hand-wash their own clothes in their washrooms.

So, as you can imagine, cooperating with these safety-protocols is pretty exhausting and depressing. Andthat is why Apple is giving a hefty bonus of $500 (~Rs. 37,315) a dayto employees who are willing to go to China for work.
