Despite earlier denials, Foxconn, an original equipment manufacturer for Apple's iPod, reportedly admitted it is breaking labor laws in China, according to China CSR. China CSR is a corporate social responsibility website that mainly focuses on labor situations in the most populous nation on Earth.

Foxconn allegedly 'fessed that their employees work about 80 extra hours each month, a practice which is not legal in China. According to Chinese labor laws, employees cannot be forced to work more than 36 extra hours a month. However, Foxconn says its complicated salary structure has caused misunderstanding among the media, and the company has paid the workers according to the minimum salary standards of the Shenzhen local government. 

The company also claimed Apple has already sent a special investigation team but found no evidence of the allegations of the sweatshop conditions at iPod City. While the China CSR report has surfaced on various sites, it cannot be confirmed if the reports were true.
