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?
It’s dependent on how competitive the job market is. You either pay the person more to get them to do it or you don’t. You set a value on their relative skills. Everything else comes out in the wash.
