'''Employees''' may be hired and work for [[business]]es in ''[[The Sims 2: Open for Business]]'', ''
==The Sims 2: Open For Business==
===Hiring employees===
Employees can be hired over the phone or computer. Sims can also be hired as employees by interacting with them directly, but they might refuse the offer unless their relationship with the hiring Sim is good. Hiring over the phone or computer provides a choice of six Sims to hire and displays their [[
Sims that can be hired as employees may be either from the pool of [[townie]]s (regular townies, Downtownies, [[Garden Club|Garden Club members]], locals, tourists, and [[Social group|social group townies]]) or Sims that live in the neighborhood. When using the phone or computer to hire employees, Sims in any of those groups may appear in the hiring pool, and Sims in the [[
Most of the time, when the Garden Club members, locals, tourists, or social group townies appear in the hiring pool, they will not have any talent badges at all. This could be advantageous or disadvantageous, depending on the player's view. They might require on-the-job experience in order to gain more advanced talent badges. On the other hand, if they do have talent badges, that will raise their required salary, even if those badges are not useful for the business.
===Managing employees===
====Assigning tasks====
After employees are hired, they can be called into work by using the open/closed sign. Once they arrive on the lot, they must be assigned a task. It's best to hire an employee that has the appropriate [[talent badge]]s or skills associated with their assigned tasks. Sims with talent badges in their assigned tasks will perform those tasks better, while Sims with the appropriate skills will develop those talent badges faster.
Different skills help employees with different tasks.
*[[Cooking]] helps with running a [[restaurant]], as chefs with higher cooking skills can prepare more meals with less risk of sending out burned food.
*[[Mechanical]] helps with Sims assigned to make [[robotics|robots]] or [[Toy Making|toys]].
*[[Charisma]] helps with [[sales]].
*[[Body]] helps with [[restocking]] and being a food server.<ref group="n">While this appears to be the intention, a bug in the code means that this skill isn't checked, so in the unmodded game, the Body skill does not help with the restocking talent badge. A [http://www.simbology.com/smf/index.php?topic=8592.0 mod] by tunaisafish fixes this.</ref>
*[[Logic]] helps with [[Register (talent badge)|cashiers]] tending to [[cash register]]s.
*[[Creativity (skill)|Creativity]] helps with [[flower arranging]], [[pottery|pottery making]], and [[sewing]], as well as Sims working at [[DJ booth]]s.
*[[Cleaning]] helps with [[Cosmetology|giving makeovers]], as well as cleaning up messes around the business.
Some job assignments, such as working as a [[Espresso bar|barista]] or a [[bartender]], aren't tied to any skill or talent badges, and there is no progression system in place for these jobs, so Sims will not gain any skills or talent badges nor get better at what they do at these positions.

===Checking in===
If a business has at least one manager, that business owner must check in with their businesses once a day to ensure that everything continues to run smoothly, or the business may not make a decent profit, or may even lose money. If a Sim owns more than one business with a manager, all businesses can be Checked at the same time. Checking In is done over the phone, by selecting the Business/Check in with Business or Check in with all Businesses. The Business Rank of a business determines how long it will take for a Sim to Check In - the higher the rank, the less time it will take to check in.
===Playable employees===
When playing a family in which one or more Sims is an employee, those Sims will work from 9am to 5pm (0900 to 1700), Monday through Friday, and will be paid a daily salary based on their hourly wages. They will receive paid vacation days, pregnancy leave, and parental leave on the same basis as Sims in regular career tracks. Like Sims in regular career tracks, they may bring other Sims home from work. While those Sims will also be employees, they may not be employed at the same business. If ''[[FreeTime]]'' is installed, they may receive work-related [[Chance card#The Sims 2|hobby chance cards]].
[[Teen]]agers may also be hired as employees in an owned business. They will work from 3pm to 8pm (1500 to 2000).

===Hiring===
Hiring employees
For retail employees, it will show work ethic (how well they will follow instructions), sales ability (talking to customers), and maintenance skills (cleaning, restocking, etc.). Retail employees will arrive at work, and must be assigned a job in one of those three areas by the owner of the business, or a member of their household.
For restaurant employees, there are three jobs: host, waiter, and chef. Each job has a separate tab on the lists of employees and Sims available for hire. All three jobs require two skills. Hosts will need [[comedy]] and [[charisma]], waiters will need charisma, and [[Fitness (skill)|fitness]], and chefs will need [[Cooking (The Sims 4)|cooking]] and [[Mixology (The Sims 4)|mixology]].

In both retail and restaurants, employee behavior is a reflection of four things: mood, skill, work hours, and pay/promotion.
'''Mood''': Mood is very important for an employee. An employee's mood can affect how well they do their job, and could affect other customers' moods as well. Owners can improve an employee's mood by praising them or by telling them a joke to lift their spirits.
'''Skill''': No matter how good an employee's mood is, they still need to have the skills required for their job. Improving an employee's skill can easily be done by having the owner give them money to train once they are off their shift. After a day, the employee will return to work with a higher skill.
'''Work Hours''': After 8–10 hours on the job, employees will begin to feel tired, work and this will greatly affect their mood and skill. This can be tracked by monitored by the employees' thoughts. To make the employees feel happy, close the business for the day, which will make the customers and employees go home.
'''Pay/Promotion''': Each employee gets a check at the end of the day. However, an employee's mood can drop if they aren't satisfied with the amount they are getting. Employees that feel underpaid may even quit. Giving an employee a promotion will give them better pay and make them more willing to come in every day to work.
====Promoting and Demoting====
All employees start at level 1. All employees can be promoted a level, and all employees above level 1 can be demoted a level. and demoted a level. Employees can be promoted multiple times or demoted back all the way to level 1.

===Playable Employees===
Sims who are a part of the household that owns a retail business can do various jobs in that business. This is beneficial, as they don't need to be paid. It also allows the player to have more control over the business.
However, in an owned restaurant, the jobs of host, waiter, and chef, must be filled by hiring employees through the manage employees tab.
