I know. That's why I assume that it won't work. But let's take your scenario and run with it. :) I assume for this thought exercise that that both Alice and Bob have WFH-compatible jobs. Alice could move further away. Will that change her hours worked (under this scheme)? No. Performance reviews, then, would need to be mandated to only consider actual work time. The problem with mandating complex systems will always come down to the edge cases. Companies will optimize location when searching for employees. Should you make it illegal to ask about location during the hiring process? What happens if an employee moves? Does it matter if they move one week after being hired as opposed to three years? In short, legislating this type of thing would lead to undesirable emergent behavior caused by the rules of that complex system. It's a good approach if everyone plays fair and works together for mutual benefit, but since when does a company or employee truly care about each other these days?
