I don't mean to be too much of a dick, but, if they choose to walk to work isn't it their problem that they can't get there? I don't know why this would be the employer's issue since transportation is the worker's responsibility. And before anyone jumps down my throat, I am aware that I don't know their circumstances and whether they have the means to get other transport, I'm just trying to understand the logic.

Why not normalize pauses to non-essential work during extreme weather?
Because, numbers have to go up no matter the weather!! /s
Why is it the workers responsibility to accrue attendance penalties and risk termination to get to work in conditions incompatible with life?
If the employer needs their employees to drive to work, for free, they are responsible for providing a vehicle and fuel.
