Going by the timings of its previous handouts, the latest bonuses should have been issued early next year, but are ahead of schedule by about two weeks.

Mr Gou, Foxconn's founder and Taiwan's richest man, resigned in June, after four decades at the helm, to contest Taiwan's presidency, but quit the race in September.
Mr Liu was previously head of Foxconn's semiconductor business unit.

Foxconn is the world's largest electronics assembler. Its major customers include Apple, Microsoft, Huawei and Nintendo.
