Of Romance & Corporate Law/Policy

[Inchante]

It would depend entirely on that companies specific policies on the subject. She should have access to these. In the past I worked for a company where similar things occurred, one or more of us would have a relative or a spouse who would submit their work as independent contractors. In those situations, to avoid any ethical quandaries, we always notified our boss and then abstained from commenting and decision making processes when it came to that person's work. Indeed, the boss actually had to forgo her participation on the board once, as someone close to her was bidding as an independent contractor. She did it graciously and accepted the boards decision when they chose another candidate with better qualifications.
