A global non-profit I work with insists on treating international contractors like employees across the board offering benefits (PTO), managing them as employees and they want to provide add an health benefit stipend for those contractors. I have advised them that they are putting themselves at risk of misclassification but they are ignoring my counsel. Is everyone just hoping to fly under the radar? What are you seeing out there as far as misclassification enforcement globally?

529 Plan VERSUS Prepaid

We live in Florida and currently have a Freshman in High School and a 16 month old. We hear from our friends and family with college bound children "I wish we would have done Florida PrePaid." After obviously ignoring this for years, we are finally trying to do it before "it's too late" for both children.

Does anyone have recommendations on which plan to go with for each child? I once did the pros and cons on a whiteboard and it seemed like 529 was better.
