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?
I’ll offer Bob a place near the workplace if he’s a good employee. If he asks me to pay for his transportation expenses, it won’t happen. I think I’d formally invite him to find another job at the end of the contract.
