> Do you charge your company for desk space at your house? Do you charge your company for your commute to the office? I can see where you are coming from, but charging the company for office space in your home is a bit over the top IMO - paying for the setup should be sufficient. Additionally, working from home comes with time and money savings for you (unless your answered "yes" to the question above), so it's not like they're using your space with only disadvantages to you. Lastly, renting out the space in your office might come with further drawbacks, as the company could demand more control of the space it is paying for.

> Do you charge your company for your commute to the office? Travel expenses for your commute are pretty standard. My employer offers either a per-kilometer amount (if you travel by car) or a train subscription, if you travel by public transport.

> Do you charge your company for your commute to the office? Companies tend to pay people for their commute here in Belgium. This can take the form of paying your train pass, a reimbursement per kilometre travelled or even a company car + fuel card. That doesn't cover the hours spent travelling, of course.

During the pandemic I had colleagues sitting in their garage for one full year. These was spot no other place to be. Other younger colleagues has studios where they said when they sit up straight in their bed they are at the ' office'. So to me this is a discussion we should have. In Australia and Germany there are tax deductions for utilities as far as I know.

> I can see where you are coming from, but charging the company for office space in your home is a bit over the top IMO This thinking is fascinating. Why do you think company shouldn't be paying for use of someone's property?
