🏖️ Paid Holiday Policy
Buildforce offers paid holiday time off to all electricians who meet the eligibility requirements listed below:
Currently employed by Buildforce and currently on a Buildforce Assignment
Have worked at least 500 hours through Buildforce
🤔 The 500 hours are based on your previous week before the holiday. It is based on the previous week on Friday, not the same week. We do not grant exceptions to this rule.
Paid Holidays:
New Year's Day
Memorial Day
Independence Day
Labor Day
Thanksgiving Day
Christmas Day
How It Works
Do You Qualify for Holiday Pay? | Worked the Holiday | Did Not Work the Holiday |
Yes | Paid an additional 8 hours of regular pay | Paid 8 hours of regular pay |
No | Paid regular pay for hours worked | Will not be paid |
🩺 Medical Benefits
Buildforce offers medical healthcare insurance to all electricians who meet the eligibility requirements listed below:
Currently employed by Buildforce and currently on a Buildforce Assignment
Worked for six months with an average of greater than 30 hrs per week
Insurance we offer:
To offer low-cost healthcare options to all eligible electricians, Buildforce partners with Essential Benefits Administrators to offer healthcare plans that cover routine preventative services, including primary care doctor’s visits. If you’d like to explore what is covered under our plans, please contact support@buildforce.com.
How It Works:
If you meet the requirements, you'll receive an email and text message informing you of your benefits eligibility. You can opt in to benefits by following the directions listed in the email.
If you opt into benefits, you will see a deduction in each weekly paycheck listed under the section "Benefit Contributions” as long as your benefits are active.
Coverage Period:
Once eligible, if you choose to elect coverage, your benefits will begin on the effective date stated in your enrollment email (usually at the beginning of the month). Thereafter, coverage will continue until:
(1) you are no longer eligible or
(2) until you contact Buildforce to terminate coverage
To terminate coverage, please email support@buildforce.com. Coverage cannot be terminated mid-month. Once you contact us to terminate your plan, your benefits will be terminated effective the last day of the month in which you’ve made the request.
Example: You wish to unenroll from our health coverage and email support on 1/26. We confirm your request and process the cancellation effective 1/31. Payroll deductions will be made, and your benefits will remain active until 1/31.
PPE or Safety Equipment is required for all electricians. At Buildforce, we prioritize safety first, so we provide PPE for our electricians, including:
Hard Hat
Safety Vest
Safety Gloves
Safety Eyewear
How It Works
We will typically place an order at your local Home Depot so you can pick up your PPE before your first day.
👷♂️ Referral Bonus
Buildforce offers referral bonuses to electricians who have worked on a Buildforce assignment and refer quality candidates. All Buildforce electricians receive a referral bonus the week after they reach 80 hours worked with Buildforce. The bonus amount is based on when the referral was made.
How It Works
Navigate to the 'Find Jobs' tab
Click the referral bonus box
To invite electricians to join Buildforce, you can either:
Select 'Invite' to send them a text or
Copy your link to send
If you signed up using a referral link, the name of the person referring you will automatically be populated as "referred by" in our system.
When your referral interviews with us, you can also encourage them to state your name when asked, "How did you hear about Buildforce?" At this time, we will document the referral in our system.
‼️ Referrals must be referenced and recorded in your interview. No exceptions will be made after the interview has been completed.
When will I get paid my referral bonus?
The bonus amount is based on when the referral was made, not when it was paid out. Here is an example breakdown of the referral timeline:
John referred Bill on April 15th
Bill got a job with Buildforce on April 24th
Bill reached 80 hours after working two weeks with us on May 5th
John will receive the referral bonus on his payroll in the next two weeks. Please allow two weeks for processing time.
An All-Star is someone who has shown Buildforce and contractors that they are reliable, dependable, and perform well on-site. At Buildforce, we want to celebrate, spotlight, and reward you 🫵 (yes, you!) for all the hard work you do day after day!
Any electrician using the Buildforce app to connect to jobs qualifies as an All-Star. You don't need to apply. Once you start working with our contractors, all you need to do is use the Buildforce app to clock in and out correctly, communicate with us, and build a healthy rapport with your Foremen.
This is important because to qualify as an All-Star, we evaluate for:
The number of hours that you have worked with Buildforce 🕗
Your on-site rate 👷
Don't Worry! Buildforce tracks 👣 both of these in your app.
