How about we make a law saying that employers have to pay job applicants a minimum of an hour's wage just for the time it takes to apply and get an interview? (lemmy.world)

Like seriously, time is money right? I'm sure most people can relate to wasting time on numerous applications before ever landing a job. If they set that into law, employers will probably be much less likely to reject applicants, and even when they do, you still get paid for your wasted time.

Edit: I'm not particularly referring to the application part alone, I'm referring to application + interview = rejection. People should get paid for someone calling you in, only to end up wasting your time. Hell, I could have spent that time better at the sperm bank.

In Germany, they all pay for travel expenses, at least.
I don't know if that's the law, but it certainly isn't what I'd consider a Crazy Idea.
