  Are workers compensated in proportion to the length of their commute? Is the company able to tell workers how to manage their commute?

    > Are workers compensated in proportion to the length of their commute? The workers are compensated for the tickets to the public transport they use. If they need to use more than one (for instance, taking a bus and then the ferry, or a bus and then the train and then another bus), they will be compensated for all these tickets. > Is the company able to tell workers how to manage their commute? AFAIK, when there's more than one public transport route, it's the worker who chooses which route they will use.

  Wow. That is the strangest thing that I've read ion a while. Are employers allowed to take the location of prospective employees' residences into account when deciding to hire or not? If I lived across the country, would the employer have to pay for daily plane tickets?

    > Are employers allowed to take the location of prospective employees' residences into account when deciding to hire or not? I believe they are. > If I lived across the country, would the employer have to pay for daily plane tickets? I don't know anywhere in this country where an airplane is considered public transport, so no (vale-transporte is only for public transport AFAIK).
