One of many reasons to have a personal LLC/S-Corp in my opinion.
Another comment in the thread really nailed this well. If employers didn't pay for commute costs separately, why does this become a line item?
The employer does pay for gas and commute costs, as well as cost of living expenses...in a paycheck.
I place a high value on my home office setup so I have things exactly as I want them. I also live in a low cost of living area thanks to my ability to work remote.
A law like this is essentially there just to further incentivize the return to office policies that we've all been reading about. Now there will be an additional cost associated with going remote.
