    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?

      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.
