How would you compensate employees for commuting to work?
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. I don’t know or care where they live. I will provide parking.
The government will get upset with you if you don't have your employees' addresses. You need that for tax purposes.
Easy to dump the burden of the commute on the staff as the cost of living close to city centres keeps climbing way faster than you’re raising their pay.
Times change, and the old standards don’t make sense anymore.
I would raise pay before paying for commute.
Statistically speaking, employers don't.
This is why the UAW are asking for 40% raise, because that would bring their pay back in line with what they were making in 2008 in terms of inflation.
They have the choice of paying for the convenience of living close to work, or spending time commuting. That's not something an employer will or should care about.
Or the third option, changing to a better employer.
Since everyone seems to think no one wants to work anymore, maybe theres a lot more better options out than than the shitty employers realize.
you mean, you'll give them a discount on parking? ;)
I hope you're not my boss. If you are. Go fuck yourself buddy.
Od rather pay you more and then pay your peers equally than pay everyone differently based on how long of a drive they have. It’s an odd subsidy that likely has unintended consequences.
Fuck you, nobody owes you anything
Downvote me if you want. Do you actually not think it's fair that I get paid to travel to work? Please explain
They do if I work for them. Get Fucked bitch. FYI I get paid per km to travel to work. Suck it. They also pay my gas. Just cus you're getting ripped off and miserable doesn't mean everyone else should be.
The details of our individual situations are irrelevant! The assumption that my disagreement with you is based on envy rather than the merits of your ideas says a great deal about you. Your employer is not obligated to pay you for getting to work mostly because you choose where to live and you knew where the office/restaurant/factory was located when you took the job. Whose fault is it if you take a job that's far away? Whose fault is it if you decide to move to another town afterwards? Whose fault is it if you take the bus for an hour each way instead of driving in half the time? Being an adult means taking responsibility for your own choices.
They hired me and they know where I live. It's their choice to hire me as much as it's my choice to be hired and my choice to choose where to live. There's an upper limit on how much they will pay, some of the guys are at that limit and so some of their driving too and from work isn't paid for. All of their driving while clocked in is. I think this should just be the norm for everyone. Do you get paid at all to travel to work?
