that’s the point of this outrageous example. How about this: Suppose there are two employees: Alice and Bob, who do the same job at the same factory. Alice has a 10 minute commute, Bob commutes 35 minutes. If you’re the owner of the factory, how would you compensate them for their commutes?
If you live three hours from your workplace you should work remotely or get another job lol

Either:
A: compensate them equally and let Bob leave 20 minutes earlier and arrive 20 minutes later
B: compensate them equally for to traveled, meaning Bob would be compensated for 35 minutes and Alice 10.
C: pass through the tax deduction that I would get if it were company vehicle (xyz a mile) to the employee directly
If they’re putting their time and their equipment to show up for my business they should be compensated. Period.
