Leave home at the start time, such as 9am. The rest is the outside world and not up to you. Maybe one day traffic will be bad or trains will be late or whatever the commute variability is.

Google Maps directions from home to office printed out and emailed to payroll.

would be much easier for hr to just use the address you already have to provide them when getting onboarded and then use an API to get commute times
