Can I Employ My Wife Without Appointment Letter? Need Advice by APC2: 3:10pm On Oct 24, 2022
Greetings nairalanders,
I need your advice regarding this issue:
I set up a new business that cost me millions of naira and I told my wife to write application letter and submit to me so that I can employ her to manage the business, she refused. She said she will not write any application letter and will not collect any appointment letter from me to work in my establishment. She just want to be in charge of the business without any formal documents.

I have told her that I will employ another person if she did not want to pass through the process of formal employment. My wife is not working and she is in 300 Level in a Federal university. She is not serious with her studies, having carry overs every semester. I'm the one sponsoring her education.

I am thinking of informing her brother that if her sister did not write application letter and pass through formal employment procedures, I will employ another lady and will not be responsible for the social needs of my wife. I will only give her money for transportation to school and not for birthdays of her friends and the unnecessary visitations she always do to relatives houses.

I can't trust my wife with any of my businesses without formal documents. She may one day claim she is the owner.

What do you think?

Not being book smart doesn't mean she won't do well on business.

Many people doing badly in school are better off learning a trade or doing business.

For now, let someone else manage the business till she can prove to you that she can do a good job of managing the business. When that time comes, don't make her write a letter.

Meanwhile, find out other things she's passionate about, school no be for everybody.

Maintain your stand. She should graduate from university before you engage her to work for you. Business is different from family, and should be treated as an entity having spent so much.

I have told her that I will employ another person if she did not want to pass through the process of formal employment. My wife is not working and she is in 300 Level in a Federal university.

Thank you for your advice. I'm not stopping her studies. She will continue like that and probably graduate with pass or third class. It's just to monitor and handle managerial issues as I am so busy working with two Universities and running my PhD but I may employ another person if she refused to do the needful

You did well by attempting to legalize and document your business relationship with your. Many Nigerians take written agreements for granted and rely on word-of-mouth instead, and we all know how it ends.

That said, you aren't doing well by attempting to employ your wife. Even you have doubts about her, so why are you insistent on picking her for the job. Employ an outsider, pay them well, and make sure they deliver.

Whether you employ her or not, you're also responsible for your wife's upkeep, so don't dump your responsibility because she refused to work for you.

Your question really is, can you employ your wife without her applying for the job, which makes me wonder why you want her to apply if you want to employ her?

As for your actual question, Can I Employ My Wife Without Appointment Letter, that really is your choice. You can after all write your wife an employment letter saying "you're hired, you will work from so to so, and be paid X amount", or you can tell her that verbally.

Formal documents wouldn't make you trust your wife since you don't trust her already, which begs the question, why did you marry her if you don't trust her?

I didn't see your username on time. If I knew your username was APC2, I won't even comment, I won't make my initial comment.

I see someone up there told you to employ your wife without an application. DON'T.

If you want to employ her, she must apply. And as someone else hinted up there, are you trying to force her to work for you? You shouldn't. A couple shouldn't even run the same business.

She is already planning to resume even when I have not formally inform her that she will be in charge. So I have to let her know that everything has to be formal and official.

She is the one that says she will be in charge. I have employ a lady already and planning to employ another do that both of them can be managing it but my wife said she will be in charge and go to school anytime she has lecture.

I think you can't trust or control your woman.
Only your money is keeping you in the marriage and that's why you are scared.

If your wife was really a wife you won't need an application letter.

Let me put it like this.... if you get sick who will take care of your business and money till you recover.
Go figure!

When you marry an immature person, this is what you get.


Rather than explain further about your mistakes which I expect you to know already, let me proffer some solutions:



1. Do not employ her, just keep her on allowances.

2. Tell her you changed your mind about her involvement in your business

3. Find her something to keep her busy, even if it's influencing gigs on youtube

4. Keep calm and maintain the upper hand age wise, financially, and other areas, when she's ready, she'll tip the scales.


Good luck.

Which bullet? There is a difference between setting up a business for your wife and setting up your own business. OP said he is sponsoring his wife in university, is that not good enough? I believe the OP's wife must have display some bad behaviours that made him not to trust him. Any woman that you cannot trust her faithfulness to you, you should not trust her with your wealth. Not all women are good wife.

With or without undergoing the formal process of employment, do you think your wife's incapabilities will change? Someone who can not manage herself will remain incapable whether or not you give her a piece of paper authorizing her to work for you. Biko, dont ruin the business and by extension marriage, sebi you knew she was "special" before you married her, dont start expecting too much from her at this point fa grin
