This sounds like something that management could easily change over time and pilots could do nothing about it.
If they call you for a flight going out in an hour, their definition may be that 30 minutes is a reasonable time. Other people typically live within 30 minutes of their workplace. Didn't get there in that time? You just caused a delay and you're going to pay.
I'd be worried about this type of ambiguity.
