Basically I had my sim go to the ThriftTea shop anf when she had returned home, her husband had come back from work. Then the next day, they were both at work and i saved and quit. When I went back onto the save, the same sim was home from work early. Its really annoying please let me know if theres a fix

I've also had this happen multiple times, but only with my school-aged sims. I thought it was something I was doing to mess up their action queue, but perhaps not.
I'll pay closer attention to my goings-on next time it happens.

This just happened in my game as well. My teens came home from the school lot at 3PM and their dad was instantly home as well, even though he should've been working until 7PM. And there was no option to send hm back to work either.
It is now Thursday, it didn't happen on Tuesday (my teens went to rabbithole school on Wednesday because I saved at the wrong time and I forgot a vanilla game speeds through sleep when you save when no-one's awake - I normally use mods). Come to think of it, I think my teens spent time at Thriftea on Tuesday, so that might explain why it didn't happen then.

I have a very similar problem. Please tell me if I should write this in its own post or if it belongs here. (Thanks, Crin, for moving it to the right thread)
I don't have High School Years.
If a teenager isn't on the home lot when school starts they're going home, and when the home lot has loaded there's a notification saying that the sim is done with school for the day (at 8 in the morning), then the principal calls and tells the sim that they're late for school, but since they are done with school for the day they can't go to school at all. I tested with several teenagers, none of them have jobs or after school activities, they just can't go to school if they're not on their home lot when school starts. I haven't tested with children and I haven't tested with different careers or activities.

How often does the bug occur? So far every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.90.375.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Get to Work, Get Together, City living, Seasons, Discover University, Outdoor retreat, Parenthood, Strangerville, Kids room, Vintage glamour, Fitness, Toddler, Laundry day, Tiny Living, Nifty Knitting, Free Holiday Pack and Grim's Ghoulish Guitar
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have a sim go to work and then enter CAS (I went through plan outfits and change likes) and the save and go back to the game/family. I also had this happen while going to a community lot and returning to the house.
What happens when the bug occurs? When I return from CAS the sims who left for work are returned back to the house before their work officially ends and there is a notification that the sim has returned from work and gotten paid for only the hour or so work.
What do you expect to see? I expect my Sim to stay and finish work until it is time to return home and get the appropiate amount of pay.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes, but I have removed it and tried without it. Still not working correctly.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. This started happening after the update on 7/26/2022

I basically have the same issue. When I am off the home lot and click the go to work button, my sim will go home and then immediately end the work day.

I have this issue as well. I have two sims in the household. My active sim is in the lawyer career. One sim was at home while my active sim was at the bar in Moonwood Mill and had to go to work. So I clicked go to work, the sim left the world, and I was sent to the loading screen. After the game finished loading, my active sim immediately left work and appeared on the home lot.
