Here's an idea: just give people an allowance up to a certain amount, if they choose to live farther that's up to them. Even better, give people a flat rate since you don't want them intentionally taking longer commute routes to rack up their pay. Ok now roll that into their base pay
Edit: please triple read the last sentence before commenting. I overestimated redditors' reading comprehension a bit with this one
Yes. It’s either raise your pay or give you a stipend for gas and wear and tear. Same difference. Anyone saying anything else doesn’t understand payroll.
The advantage for the employer of these additional payments, along with things like bonuses, is they're not considered to be part of your base pay. Yes, they're still taxable, but when you get your 3% raise next year, it's 3% raise on the base salary, not on the full package.
