Foxconn terminate payments to suicide families


Friday, June 11, 2010 Foxconn said it has stopped offering condolence payments to the families of staff members who kill themselves as it tries to stem a spate of factory suicides in China.

The decision is part of a series of initiatives including raising wages, offering consoling services and installing safety nets, an official said.

10 employees have leapt to their deaths at Foxconn's sprawling plant in southern Shenzhen city this year, while an 11th committed suicide at a north Chinese facility.

Chinese media have reported that the families of those who died had received compensation of up to 100,000 yuan (14,500 US), equivalent to about 10 years' work at the company.

Company founder Terry Gou said none of the suicides was directly work-related and that he was cleared by Chinese authorities of any wrongdoing in the period up to the suicides.
