TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Of course it will. If you work an 8-hour day, get paid $10 per hour, and
have no commute time (and these are the arrangements you work out and
agree to with your employer), your daily intake is $80.
If your employer subsequently requires you take a 3-hour (90-minutes
times two ways) commute, this makes your day 11 hours long. If the
employer does not compensate you for the change in working conditions,
you are still making $80 per day, but are now working 11 hours. Thus,
your hourly wage is actually $7.27 per hour, which is close to a 30% pay
cut.

You're assuming here, of course, that Ola's being paid a salary. If the
pay
is hourly, the per hour wage may not be affected.
