So I've never messed around with owning a business or running a restaurant, but with the Cats & Dogs pack, I figured I give running a vet a try. I have a few generic "manager" related questions.
Is there any way to send an employee home? (Not fire; I just mean let them leave work without my having to close the vet.)
Is there any reason not to promote an employee or delay promoting them other than the additional wage expense?
For the first two days, the "Bill Client" action was automatically performed after I treated the pet. On the third day, for all seven clients, I couldn't bill them and they wouldn't leave (so I could go onto the next one) unless I explicitly dismissed them. (This caused my rating to lower a level, too!) Anyone else experience this?
1. No, you can fire them or let them stay.
2. I often only promote every couple of skill levels they gain because there are only 5 levels of their job and not 10. This is personal preference.
3. If your sim has an animal and that animal comes to work with them or is even on the same lot then it will glitch and you cannot bill the owner. I fixed this by bringing my vets husband to the lot and having him bill the owners. My sims cat had the free spirit trait and it wandered onto the vets lot and and I couldn't bill anyone. I do not know of any other solution besides closing, sending everyone home and starting the day over. If this isn't why your issue occurred, I don't have an answer. Hopefully someone does.
