ORIGINAL POSTER

to;dr dependent spouse entering Thailand later and not sure how this affects the visa process 

My friend has a wife here with NonB visa and will have the work permit soon. He is looking to join her in Thailand on a dependent visa. The employer says no problem about the dependent visa, but is unsure if they can do it due to not traveling together. Anyone has experience with this?

TLDR : Answer Summary

A dependent spouse can apply for a Non-O visa in Thailand even if they are entering the country separately from the primary visa holder (who holds a Non-B visa). As long as the primary visa holder has a valid visa and meets all other requirements, the dependent spouse can proceed with the application.

As long as the main person (who is Non-B in this case) has valid visa/extension and the applicant meets the requirements (including documents from the employer, remaining period on his stamp, etc), he can apply for Non-O dependent on a foreigner who are permitted to stay in Thailand legally. It doesn't matte at all if they enter Thailand together or on different dates.
