Awesome that’s great. It’d be interesting if you could some how extend that to commuting, so hourly workers taking trains in for service work are compensated for their times in transit.
- piyush_soni 6y agoI (and probably many people here might) have thought about that in the past as well. It will surely be great from the employee's perspective, but thinking more about it, let's say a work day is 8 hours long. What if I stay 4 hours away from the office? I come and go everyday, and technically get paid for full day's work. There has to be some limit to it from the employer's perspective. Please note that Europe had ruled a few years back that the time spent in commuting 'for work' must be counted as work hours (e.g. plumber travelling to client's location). But employees travelling to the same office everyday were excluded from that rule as far as I remember.
