Due to this policy, which required searching the bags and personal belongings of the employees at the end of the working hours, there were some people who had to wait up to 45 minutes, and in response to this, it was brought to the agenda that they had to be paid within the expected time.
The California state district court settled the lawsuit on behalf of the aggrieved employees this week, and Apple agreed to pay a total of $30.5 million in damages. In the case involving 14 683 employees, the remaining amount after the expenses are deducted will be paid to the plaintiffs. Apple canceled this policy after a while due to criticism.
