I wonder how infrastructure would change if companies were required to reimburse valid claims of mileage or time spent (not the bus/train fare, but paying your wage for the time spent to get to work).
While the intent is good, as written it would probably have the unintended consequence of making it harder to get a job if you happen to live far away from the workplace, which I don’t think is the way to go
I knew as I wrote it that it would be far more complex than just setting a single law down. But the fact that such cost of time and money just to get to work exists suggests the burden isn’t balanced well. The case you mention of distance to a job is more a symptom of the problem of not being more localized for everything. Not just an American problem, but definitely something we deal with outside of a few major urban areas. A pay adjustment doesn’t fix that, it just is a rough patch that wouldn’t work for some.
In all honesty I think it’s connected to the housing crisis bleeding into basically every other political issue, because of how damn massive of a problem it is

This could be a fantastic idea, and maybe a hammer blow to the “return to office” bullshit.
Sure, I’ll go into the office. Pay me 25% more to account for the travel time.

According to a video I’ve seen, actors get paid for their commutes
Only outside the TMZ, which is why basically everything in LA is filmed within it.
An interesting little quirk for sure
