How would you compensate employees for commuting to work?
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?

Fuel card, or static rate for travel costs that actually covers the cost
What if Bob rides a bicycle? Should he be compensated at a lower rate because his actual costs are less?
Generally everyone just gets an allowance of X paid, pocketing the difference they don't use. I work from home, travel costs for me would likely be both on the clock and expenses paid if travel is necessary
I work in an office and am not compensated for getting to work. Would be compensated if after getting to the office they needed me to travel somewhere else.
That's what we also have here.
"Took you 2 hours and 1/4 th your daily rate? Sorry you will have to cover that cost out of your pocket. After all, we didn't force you to work here, you applied knowing full well where the office is and how much your salary would be."
