How would you compensate employees for commuting to work? (lemmy.ml)

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?

Pretty normal here in the San Francisco / Silicon Valley area. Although it usually comes in the form of chartered busses, transit passes or free parking. And parking in San Francisco can be like $400 a month, so free parking is nice.

The commute in this area averages 1-2 hours one way for many. So transportation perks are important to retaining high value employees.

And because the commute sucks, remote / hybrid work options are also key for many gigs.
