Comment on Bosses and workers still can’t agree on whether the commute is part of the work day, and it’s creating a $578 billion productivity problem

I would propose a $1.50 decrease in the minimum wage IF it was coupled with a pay for commute law. I would go down by $3 an hour if it also had a half pay for “on call” hours amendment.

Can your employer then tell you how far away is reasonable to live?

“Why don’t you live in the $4,000/month apartment 5 minutes away instead of the $1,000/month place an hour away?”

  The way I invision it is that everyone gets an assumed travel time (like 30 minutes or something) and if they are closer they get more free time, and if they are further, they don’t get paid for the extra travel time.

    Isn’t that just a wage increase then?

  My employer already requires that I live within a 45 minute commute.
