The ability to create and maintain a business, including the ability to hire and manage employees, returns in ''[[The Sims 4: Get To Work]]''. It is used again in ''[[The Sims 4: Dine Out]]'' to manage [[Restaurant#The Sims 4: Dine Out|restaurants]].


===Hiring===
===Hiring===
Hiring employees is pretty simple as players can hire employees from the [[Owned Businesses Panel|Business Panel]], under the button "Manage Employees". The button will open up a window showing two types of categories for Sims, Sims employed for the business and Sims available for hire.
Hiring employees done by using the "Manage Employees" area of the [[Owned Businesses Panel|Business Panel]]. The button will open up a window showing Sims who are employed by the business, and Sims available for hire. Both tabs show a picture of each Sim, along with that Sim's skills, and will show the skills needed for the job.


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.
On each tab for Sims it will showcase a picture of the Sim themselves, and underneath will show their skills needed for the job and how much they have in their skill.


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]].
Retail Business employees will have work ethic (for how well they will do what they're told), sales (talking to customers) and maintenance (cleaning, restocking etc.). Retail employees will arrive to work and must be managed a job of one of their three skills by the owner or household that owns the Retail Business.

Restaurant Business employees, there are three types of jobs, Host, Waiter, and Chef, each have their separate tabs on lists of employees and sims available for hire. All types of employees will need 2 skills for their job, 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]].


====Firing====
====Firing====
Firing an employee can be done at any time and for any reason, firing employees helps if they do not live up to expectations or will not do their job. Sometimes the Sim who was fired will insult the employer, but firing an employee will always leave a negative relationship between the owner and employee.
Employees can be fired at any time for any reason. Firing an employee who does not live up to expectations or will not do their job helps the business. Sometimes, the Sim who was fired will insult the employer, but even if they don't, firing an employee will always leave a negative relationship between the owner and employee.


===Management===
===Management===
In either types of Businesses, employees will have moods on how they're being treated and how long they work for. To which the owner must pay close attention to their employees thoughts if they're at the lot or at their home. Just like in ''Open for Business'' owners can promote or demote employees, raising or lowering their level and work salary.
In either type of business, employees will have moods that depend on how they're being treated and how long they work. The owner must pay close attention to their employees' thoughts when they are on the lot or at the owner's home. As in ''Open for Business'', owners can promote or demote employees, which raises or lowers their level and salary.


Employees for Retail Businesses will have no primary role until the owner selects them to do either Chatting up customers, Ringing up Customer, Restocking, or Cleaning.
Employees of retail businesses will have no primary role, until the owner assigns one. They can be assigned to chatting up customers, ringing up customers, restocking, or cleaning.


Employees for Restaurant Businesses will get straight to work depending on what job you hired them for, mostly employees will have low skills and so may be slower and mess up more, such as Hosts taking long to seat customers, Waiters dropping food, Chefs cooking poorly etc. this, however, can be helped as owners can offer their employees money to train them once their shift is over. Owners can train their employees for brief training §150, standard training §600, or extensive training §1500, once they have returned from training their skills would have risen considerably.
Employees of restaurants will get straight to work at the job they have been hired for. As they will often have low skills, they may be slower and make more mistakes. For example, hosts may take too long to seat customers, waiters may drop food, and chefs may cook poorly. However, owners can offer their employees money for training once their shift is over. This can be brief training (§150), standard training (§600), or extensive training (§1500). Once an employee has returned from training, their skills will have risen considerably.


====Employees Satisfaction====
====Employee Satisfaction====
[[File: Restaurant Employee Report.png|thumb|329x329px|An example of Employee Satisfaction from a Financial Report of a Restaurant.]]Sometimes the employee will be unsatisfied with their job, to fix this owners or the household that owns the business can praise the employee for their work, criticising employees for their work will make them work better but their mood will lower. Sometimes praising an employee for their work just won't cut it and will ask for a promotion to which it is up to the Sims decision whether or not to promote them. Not doing so will lower the employees relationship with the employer and risk them quitting.

Line 176: Line 174:
Sims apart of the household that owns a Business can pitch into the family business and do the jobs instead of hiring NPC's to do the job. This is very beneficial as they don't need to be paid and allows the player full control over their business.

However, this only applies to Retail Businesses, it is impossible for Sims of the owners household to replace the needed jobs such as Host, Waiter, or Chef, as it is a requirement to hire them through the Manage Employees tab.
