    Otherwise you would get weird situations where people could apply to distant jobs and the employer having to pay those costs and hours. Get a job with a 2 hour one-way commute and you would then only need to work 4 hours… obviously not going to work.

    From an employee perspective, that’s not much of a problem but the solution is hardly complicated either. Wouldn’t employers just not hire people who live too far from the work site?

      Sure, but at least in the EU, that would be unlawful discrimination under current rules.

      Only if the job has specific requirements, e.g. firefighters need to be at the station within X minutes, can you impose a distance requirement.

      So you would need to change those rules then.
