Apple has reportedly terminated several employees of Indian origin in the US over allegations of misusing its matching grants programme. The scheme, which allows Apple to match employee donations to eligible charitable organisations, was allegedly exploited by some employees in collaboration with certain charities, according to a report by Times of India.
The said employees fabricated donation records and redirected the matched funds back to themselves.
