Lol you should be allowed to clock in when you start your commute. These CEOs don't even want to pay their employees when they are on the clock and working.
In theory that sounds good but I don't really get how it'd work. I mean what if you just lived four hours away so your commute there and back was just your eight hours? That's obviously ridiculous so what's the cut off? Like an hour? How does that affect breaks and lunch if you do live an hour away so you're only working six hours? Or is it just like a premium pay, like you earn 10% of your salary on your way in?
I wonder if any company actually does this.
Of they live 4 hours away. Why are they applying for that job and why is that place hiring someone that fast away when commuting is a requirement.
I mean if I was a miner and instead of working in the mines I could just drive for 8 hours that sounds a little more doable. In any case, what if I just get a job somewhere and then move? As much as people on lemmy hate driving I'm sure there's someone out there who likes it.
The real question is.
Why would the mine hire the guy who gets paid 8 hours of unproductive driving? They would only hire the closest individuals.
And what if you move? I guarantee there would be a contract stating you cannot change your home address by [X distance] without approval.
So your employer can choose where you live?
Can they also prevent you from biking to work or taking public transit since those would be slower?
If you get in an accident is the company liable since you are on the clock?
How would they check your time?
What if you were running an errand before work does time start when you get in the car or when you finish the errand?
At the end of the day it’s just easier for the company to pay you whatever money would go into the commuting budget and evenly distribute it to everyone’s salary.
