The company had also offered similar bonuses for workers leaving its campus last week to calm the situation and largely to usher out new arrivals who had participated in protests. 

On Friday, more than 20,000 employees, most of them new hires, reportedly left the Zhengzhou plant after violent protests broke out at the facility over unpaid dues.
