> businesses do not try to cut the pay of remote workers
Until businesses provide free transport to work and pay employees for their commute time I'd say it's reasonable to offer lower pay for remote work than on-premise work. This doesn't have to involve cutting pay but could rather take the form of a commuting subsidy or an on-premise bonus. The lack of a commute is a real tangible benefit and should be included in any compensation package.
- mminer237 6y agoEmployees might get a benefit by not having to commute, but that isn't a cost the company has to pay. Just because people may find a pay cut worth it, doesn't justify companies cutting wages without a need just because they can, in my opinion.
