Suppose there are two employees: Alice and Bob, who do the same job at the same factory. Alice has a 10 minute (20RT) commute, Bob commutes 35 minutes(70RT).
If you’re the owner of the factory, would you compensate them for their commutes? How would you do it?
If it were me I’d just get an average commute, provide a stipend of gas or transport costs within your city, e.g. 15km distance, or a monthly pass for local area transit. If I’d want to relocate someone I may offer a signing bonus to help with moving and settling costs.
It’s a reasonable expectation that if your job is at a workplace in Toronto, being within city limits is not an unreasonable expectation.
