I have gone back and re-read the rules.
When you apply for an employment pass, you can at the same time apply for Dependent's passes for your wife and children, or Long Term Social Visit Passes (LTSVP) for common law wife, step children, parents etc.
My TGF has got a LTSVP (as common law wife) and I looked in to the whole employment aspect, but she cannot work.
My initial answer was not correct as with a Dependent's pass, you can work but you have to additionally apply for a Letter of Consent. With the work ethic being what it is over here, it may not be all that easy to find work suitable for a wife, i.e. part time or short hours.
