Apologies in advance if I didn't understand you correctly but doesn't this presume that salary offered at large considered commute to begin with? Like you mentioned, I know some jobs that ask you to relocate or perhaps some corporate jobs but I'm under the assumption is that the salary is more often commensurate with experience and what they've already decided the position is worth. Yes, on occasion there is an added cost to hazard, commute, travel etc... but that seems already factored in. What I think we're examining here is the same office job split in to two catagories: one at home and one in the office. How is the position worth any less if someone can achieve the same task from home?
I can understand an incentive where employees that show up in person are paid a bonus at the end of the year but to create this distinction now for the same position just strikes me as NY's typical attempt to squeeze as much money out of their residents as legally possible.
