Is it permissible for an employee to receive compensation from his company for days when his designated transportation was out of service, if he used another free means of transportation during that period?

If the employee's contract with the company includes transportation to and from work, then the company is obligated to provide it, whether this is written, verbal, or customarily understood. In the event of a breakdown in the transportation means, the employee has the right to demand that the company provide an alternative means or financial compensation sufficient for transportation. If the employee travels by his own car or by another's car, whether free of charge or for a fee, he has the right to demand compensation from the company because transportation is part of his due wage. It is preferable not to go to work until an agreement on compensation is reached to avoid dispute.

However, if transportation is not stipulated in the contract or as a general company policy, the employee is not entitled to compensation because it would be a voluntary act from the company.

And if the company commits to compensating the employee for what he paid to get to work, he is entitled to compensation even if he traveled for free, as long as transportation was agreed upon in the contract, because the cost of transportation is part of the wage.
