Length of Visa & Dependants

I have 2 questions wrt the Tier 1 visa:

It would seem that I qualify due to earnings, qualifications etc - How long is the initial visa approved for and what do you do after the initial visa expires?

If my wife is then given a dependancy visa, would she be able to take up employment in the UK?
