    It’s easy:

    Are you requesting I as a worker dedicate any part of my time, and/or usage of my personal resources to accomplish something for YOUR business? Yes it’s part of the work day.

      If i live 3 hours from my workplace my employer should pay me for the six hours to get to and from?

      maybe I’m old school…

          that’s the point of this outrageous example. How about this: Suppose there are two employees: Alice and Bob, who do the same job at the same factory. Alice has a 10 minute commute, Bob commutes 35 minutes. If you’re the owner of the factory, how would you compensate them for their commutes?

            Either:

            A: compensate them equally and let Bob leave 20 minutes earlier and arrive 20 minutes later

            B: compensate them equally for to traveled, meaning Bob would be compensated for 35 minutes and Alice 10.

            C: pass through the tax deduction that I would get if it were company vehicle (xyz a mile) to the employee directly

            If they’re putting their time and their equipment to show up for my business they should be compensated. Period.
