On Monday, Samsung admitted that workers in its Chinese supplier plants were subject to large amounts of overtime and fines for being late or absent. A report from a monitoring group found that some employees worked 16 hour days with one day off a month, and that most workers worked three to six times more overtime than the legal limit. Samsung said that their review of factories in China found illegal work practices, and that suppliers would be given two years to change. The company said that it wanted to end overtime beyond the law by the end of 2014. Samsung said that it was continuing audits of its factories in China.
