The line here is always arbitrarily set, so you’d want to look up what it is at your specific company. At what point does your personal commute to work end and your work begins? Does it start once you sit in your chair? Step into your office? Walk through the door? How about once you park your car? If you’re available by phone, you can start working your day while in transit. Working from home blurs that distinction further. It’s all arbitrary and usually outlined as a company policy.

For example, my last company’s policy was “be onsite to punch in at a terminal by XX.” The previous company’s were basically “who gives a shit, we’re never gonna check. If not being present on time causes any problems, it’s on you to fix them. Be an adult.”

So yeah, your mileage may vary.
