Look dude, I'm directly involved with 12 related party business arrangements and have a cursory understanding of several others. Unequivocally the answer is ALWAYS honesty and a clear understanding of the circumstances. Always.
Not hiring Jimmy is not bad.
Lying to him about it is.

Business and family are two very different animals. The situations aren't terribly analogous and really shouldn't be. Honesty in a business relationship is almost universally the best bet. Honesty between friends and family? Well sometimes it's best to spare someone's feelings. Like I said, nobody likes to admit it in practice, but nobody likes the asshole that never does it in reality.
