Are you using a subcontractor who does not have
workers comp insurance?
As an employer, you are liable for most workplace
injuries. You may be liable for uninsured
subcontractors and their employees injured on your job
site. Without adequate protection, an injured employee
lawsuit could put you out of business.
The Alabama Home Builders Self Insurers Fund provides an
alternative to traditional workers compensation insurance.
Residential and light commercial builders, subcontractors,
suppliers and other businesses affiliated with the construction
industry benefit from Fund participation.
Visit our Membership Roster online at www.stclairhba and
Use one of Our members who you know has insurance.
“Members Use Members”
The Spike Club
Recruiting new members to your local association is an activity
recognized and rewarded through the Spike Club. Those who
participate are called Spikes, and they are among the most valued
members of the association.
Spikes are the membership leaders of our federation, building the
voice, power and influence on every level, in every state. Eligibility
postcards are sent only to Spikes who have at least six credits and
one new member recruitment credit between Nov. 1 of the previous
year and Oct. 31 of the current year.
How do I become a Spike? Before becoming a Spike, you
are a Spike candidate. That means you have earned between one
and five credits. Once you earn your sixth credit, you become an
official NAHB Spike!* Spike credits are earned by recruiting and
retaining NAHB and Council members.
To retain your status as a Spike you must earn a minimum of one
new Spike credit (new or retention) each year until you reach a total
of 25 credits, at which point you are elevated to Life Spike status.
* Providing you have earned those six credits within two consecutive
membership years.
How do I earn Spike credits?
Members earn one credit for each new member they sponsor. When
that member renews after his or her first year of membership, the
sponsoring member automatically gets one renewal credit. Every
year the member renews thereafter, the sponsoring member will
receive a ½ renewal credit.
Spikes receive a ½ credit for recruitment and a ½ credit for the
renewal of Affiliate members.
