For all the Business owners with full or part time employees,what are some unique benefits or gifts you have extended to your employees to reward them in addition to wages? For example a diamond merchant in one of the Asian countries gifted a car to all his employees…

I don't know if this counts. But I am extremely understanding of people's personal lives. I go above and beyond to make sure there's coverage if anyone has anything in their life they need to attend to. I've been an employee, and I know how difficult it can be to your work life balance. I don't want any of my employees feeling like they're having to sacrifice parts of their life for my business.

A car? Sheesh lol. Usually just company swag or a personalized monogramed laptop bag, yeti, etc... probably need to step up our game now that I'm thinking about it.

That’s just an extreme example but curious to know other ways out there

While it is not an official "benefit" for our part-time employees, our department managers do a good job of creating a work schedule that fits their needs rather the company's. For example, if a woman has to drop children off at school or daycare at 8 a.m. and pick them up by 4 p.m. we can create a 9-2 or 9:30-2:30 schedule for them. If someone needs a few more hours to support their family, we can so 8-3 to get them 30 hours. Part-time employees are allowed half the PTO/sick days of full-time employees, which is a benefit some companies don't provide.

I do sales for a major engineering firm. Focused on new business and exploring new markets. Last year I was in the top 50% for order intake, and first in number of projects won along with number of new customers. I think this is extraordinary given the effort it takes to win new business.

For next year my goal increased by 2.5X, and less of what I bring in counts towards that target. I really enjoy my job but I will essentially be getting a large pay cut. Lost in what to do besides quit??

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.
