Suppose there are two employees: Alice and Bob, who do the same job at the same factory. Alice has a 10 minute (20RT) commute, Bob commutes 35 minutes(70RT).
If you’re the owner of the factory, would you compensate them for their commutes? How would you do it?
No because that opens the door for more complicated situations. Alice is late one day due to traffic or a road closure, does she get more compensation? What if Bob can’t drive so his commute takes longer? What if he can drive, but chooses not to?
I would assume the rate would be flat and determined ahead of time. Real-time tracking my commute for pennies more or less is not good.
