That brings up another can of worms: does the client know that she's doing this with other people she has "brought on board"? As a moral issue, do I have a responsibility to tell the client? To rephrase slightly, when you see a client perhaps being cheated, do you tell the client?
The can of worms that I would be concerned about is the legal one regarding how this whole kick-back system works in your state. Your idea regarding an invoice is a good one, but it also starts a paper trail that ends with you, in essence, bribing the PA for access to work and clients. At least that's how an over-zealous enforcement officer
could interpret it.
Wrestling with the morals of the issue comes after settling the legal issue.
