In May, Foxconn’s base salary was $350 per month [1] So, $350 / 22 working days (per month aprox, assuming 2 days of weekend, I don't know if they have 1 or 2) => $15.9 per day. / 10 hours per day => $1.59 per hour Earning $2 for every extra hour... is like earning 1/3 extra per hour. Just to compare, here in Argentina, every extra hour is paid double by law. But I don't know if this is regulated in China... Anyway, given the kind of job, I wouldn't try to stimulate working extra hours, as attention would decrease too much for this kind of monotonous and precision work. So, it makes sense that they pay little for overtime work.
