What's on YOUR Wish List?
seelindarun:
I think it's a reference to double-dipping when you have playables as employees. They get paid when the business is played by the owner, and a second time when the employee's household is played. That second payment isn't deducted from the employer (unless you fixed it lately and I haven't noticed it yet).
The third time they're paid is when a playable customer visits the business, but I don't think of that as unfair payment, since the business owner is generating income from that visit also.

1. Woohoo available on single beds, with an animation of its own.
2. Being able to take different sized & shaped snapshots like in TS1. I haven't stopped missing it even though I can't remember what good it was.
3. For some kind soul to fix the OFB bug where assigning uniforms makes the employees' faces lose all custom content and revert to a different face template.

...why shouldn't they get money if the employer is paying them?
Because they will be paid anyway when their own household is played. Like seelindarun said: to eliminate double-dipping.
J. M. Pescado:
I don't really see the double-dipping issue offhand. Clearly, they are being paid from "remote" income. Just as the business owner receives "remote income" from a business, the employees get paid out of that income. "Live" revenues are paid to both employees and business owners simultaneously, "remote" incomes are paid when you play the relevant fambly.

Double-dipping isn't much of a problem. Being your own employee, on the other hand...
I had a Fortune sim with a floral shop who hired his son-in-law, then later sold the show to the son-in-law. When playing the new owner, he is able to visit his business, hire employees, and phone his manager as expected. However, he also still has the entry-level shop clerk job -- clearly double-dipping of the worst sort. He had to stay home from work to care for a baby one day and got the message that he missed work and should be careful about his job performance.
Naturally I'm investigating this by refusing to let him go to work, to see if he gets fired... and if so, what happens. If there's no other effect on the business, no biggie. But if something weird happens, I may be coming back to ask for a bug fix.
