An hour spent commuting is 1/16th of your daily life, and that hour is by far the biggest risk to your life every day. You should be getting triple pay to ameliorate the hazard risk it represents.

    I have always felt that you should be paid for travel time for a job. If it takes 30 mins to drive to work then the company should be paying you that time.

    Look at how many bosses/CEOs bill their daily travel expenses to the company

      That would be good except that you could literally get a job far away for “was” money, or you would disadvantage people living farther away from jobs (cities)

      I wonder if this would make it harder for people to find jobs. I imagine companies would be less inclined to hire people an hour away if they had to pay for it.
