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?
If someone enjoys driving more than their actual job, and they're getting paid to do it, it's arguably an incentive. At the very least, you're no longer decentivizing the commute by paying for it.
