I was initially skeptical, so I went looking for some numbers. If the numbers I pulled off of Google are right (and I did the math right), that's something like $850 per employee every quarter. I've got to say, that's not nothing, especially considering many employees are in countries where with lower prevailing wages than the US.
Numbers:
Shares outstanding 768,000,000
Employees: 210,000
Percentage of McDonald's that are corporate owned: 20%
Dividend per employee: ($1.16 * 768,000,000 * 0.2) / 210,000 ~= $850
