Ideas

Sims leave work early whenever there is a loading screen.

Whenever a loading screen pops up (from going into CAS, transitioning to a different lot, loading a save, etc.) any sims who are at work will return home early, bringing home far less simoleons and causing a hit to job performance.

I have tried removing all mods and CC, and have tried resetting the game by deleting my The Sims 4 folder and letting a new one be generated when I started up the game again. The issue persists.

I am playing on PC through Steam.
