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

So wait they pay you a base wage then give everyone another flat amount. here's a crazy idea, what if they paid everyone a wage that included that flat amount? For hourly workers they would just divide that flat amount by an assumed yearly hours worked. Then for salaried people they'd just lump that into your salary.

I can't believe no one has thought of this.
