I got the Open for Business expansion pack yesterday and played the DeLarosa family to get familiar with it before subjecting my favorite Sims to my awful management style.
I pay them fairly and try to give them breaks when their balls turn yellow but they never want to get off break, complain when I tell them to and then quit at the end of the day. Any idea what I’m doing wrong? Tips? Hints? Help?

Does a pay raise help?

When do the female cashiers get a break? 
I caught one of mine - some time ago - making out with his girl’s sister. They all lived together. Well, I wasn’t the only one who caught her, so did his girl. She beat him up, and then kept beating him up every so often until I had to make her move out. :smack: He then married the sister.
Sexual harassment springs to mind. You’re lucky that there isn’t a lawyer sim expansion yet.
I have to get the Sims 2 now. Last time I had my chance, I went for The Movies instead because of the making movies thing, but this thread really makes me want to play it.
I checked Gamefaqs, and the most helpful thing I found was in this FAQ, where it says this:
To me, this would imply that (assuming you don’t want to cheat), you have to limit the work hours.
