'''Employees''' may be hired and work for [[business]]es in ''[[The Sims 2: Open for Business]]'', ''[[The Sims 3]]'', ''[[The Sims 4: Get To Work]]'', ''[[The Sims 4: Dine Out]]'' and ''[[The Sims 4: Cats & Dogs]]''.

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 [[Skillsskills]], [[Talenttalent Badgesbadge]]s, and starting salary. A business can employ up to 8 Sims. A business owner can use the phone or computer to hire Sims from home. Members of the owner's household who are on the business lot can use the phone or computer to hire employees.

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 [[Familyfamily bin]] may also appear. If a Sim being hired already has a job, hiring that Sim will force them to quit their job.

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.

*[[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>

*[[Creativity (skill)|Creativity]] helps with [[flower arranging]], [[pottery|pottery making]], and [[sewing]], as well as Sims working at [[DJ booth]]s.
