Cheerios.

It this your idea or something you've discussed with your client? It would appear to be nice and clean but is it possible?

Might want to speak to your accountant to see which is the most efficient method and try that first?

If contract doesn't mention your wife, it probably won't be a contractual requirement.

But your PI will only cover your spot-checking.

Is the data sensitive in any way? If it is wrong are people going to die or buildings collapse, etc? Or is it data that is likely to be archived and no one ever look at it but they have to have it stored somewhere?

I'd be inclined to get PI.

Are the subsidiary, and any intervening agency, also ‘fine’ with it?
And they would be the ones to check whether you need PI with wifey named.

And do you have PI. Does your contract stipulate it? If it does it would be fairly safe to assume she will need it.

Why not speak to the insurance company providing your PI and see if they already cover her and if not how much would it be to add bearing mind the low level of work. Shouldn't be much.

day job for wife

All

I am contracted to a subsidiary of a "company". The "company" has a small job that they think a consultancy would be too expensive to do. I suggested my wife who is a director in my company can do it. They ("client") are fine with that. My question is - Do I need any PI cover for my wife to deliver that job. Its mainly data entry type work which I will spot check before delivering to the "company". Looked at my contract, and it does not mention my wife's name so hoping no trouble with the agency in the middle.

Cheerios.
