That is fair. If I'm using my personal car for work, I'm reimbursed. Same thing should be done for business use at home.
My increase in electricity and internet usage should be covered.
- harryh 6y agoIn practice this can't really be enforced. Say you were making $200k but then a law was passed that companies have to reimburse you for 20k of "home office expenses" per year. Guess what, now your salary is 180k + the reimbursement! Oh, you're saying you could pass a law against that too? OK, then what happens to new hires. They're gonna get 180k. You can't really stop that. At the end of the day, salaries will be set by the market. Companies are price takers just like employees.
