Apple’s manufacturing partner Foxconn has offered payouts of Rmb10,000 ($1,400) to newly recruited staff who elect to leave the iPhone factory and vowed to honour pay agreements, in an attempt to quell unrest after workers violently clashed with police.Foxconn management proposed the payout plan to workers on Wednesday night, pleading with staff to return to their dormitories, according to a video shared with the Financial Times. The move appeared to help quell the tense situation at the iPhone plant in Zhengzhou, China, by Thursday morning.

The payout, intended to cover money owed to new workers for quarantining, transport to the factory and hours worked, was formally issued in notices to workers. Those who take the deal are set to receive Rmb8,000 when they submit their resignation and the remaining Rmb2,000 after boarding buses home.

Violent protests erupted at Apple’s biggest iPhone factory over promised bonuses. Foxconn apologised for the miscommunication, pledging it would honour its commitments.
