    Where I live, I have to calculate (and show the process of calculation) the cheapest cost of getting to and back from work from my house. My boss simply pays me that much each workday. If I move, I have to do this calculation again. It doesn’t matter how long it takes me to get to work (i.e. I’m not “on the clock”), they are simply imbursing me for that part.

    Ironically, sometimes moving further away is both cheaper and faster.

      See that’s the problem, in America this needs to be solved without asking people to do math.

        It is for most companies. You put the drive into a mileage calculator for your company and they reimburse you a certain amount per mile. You don’t do napkin math, they need legitimate records for accountants, audits, etc.
