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.
1. I would have said, you can send them home early, but I see from @Andiratyme answer that has been changed :D . I liked that choice. we need that to return if they have removed it from the vet clinic. I suppose it's because doctors are more big shots, you just do not send a doctor home. :D
2. Yes, Low performance, not working, lounging about. lots of reasons, One I have just will not wear their uniform. lol. I have not sent her home or said anything about it to her, That's the reason I do not know what would happen. she never works either so I guess I will just fire her.
3. Lots of the time, they do not leave. When you click on the pet you get options, one is bill owner, also if you're quick enough, you can say nice pet, and then click on the owner and say bill owner. this should be auto billed as in restaurants. if you are worried about the bill click that first then click nice pet, be careful that they do not think you will examine them again, then your wasting your time.....I just go to the next pet that usually sends them out the door.
I do think the Vet clinic is more enjoyable than the other businesses, and the vets do try to help (mostly). but you can do a great job alone as well.
Retail has the worst employees. they do not truly try to help. But if you have a retail shop and want to work it alone, they will hire 3 employees for you.
