So you hired your first employee—maybe a Cleaner, a Chemist, a Handler, or that one guy who always asks too many questions. They show up outside your property, eager to work... and then they just stand there. Not moving. Not working. Just vibing.

That’s because in Schedule 1, employees won’t lift a finger until you give them a bed. Here's how to get them settled in and functional.

Step 1: Make Sure You Actually Have a Bed

Before anything else, place at least one unclaimed bed inside your building.

You can buy beds from the furniture tab.
If it’s already assigned to someone, it won’t show up during assignment.
You can tell a bed is unclaimed if it’s dull gray and not glowing blue.

Step 2: Open the Management Clipboard

To manage your employees, you’ll need your clipboard.

Press 9 to pull it out at any time.
Walk up to your employee (they’ll usually be standing just outside the building).
Aim at them and press E to bring up their assignment options.

Step 3: Assign a Bed

Click the option that says “Bed” (it’ll show X None if they aren’t assigned).
Now walk to the bed you want them to use.
Click the bed with the Left Mouse Button to assign it.

When done correctly:

The bed will turn blue
A briefcase icon will appear next to it

Step 4: Pay Up

Go to the briefcase near their bed and deposit cash for their daily wage.
No money = no work. Most employees expect somewhere around $200 per day.

Final Blurb

If your new hire is just standing around like a confused houseplant, don’t panic—it’s not a bug, it’s just bedless management. Get your clipboard out (hit 9), give them a place to sleep, toss some cash in the box, and they’ll be on the clock in no time. Because nothing says productivity like a glowing blue mattress and a mysterious suitcase full of cash.
