Which employment status should I select?
When identifying your occupation we first ask “What is your employment status”? The list of adjacent occupations and employer business types are then customised according to your employment status. For example, selecting an employment status of “Household Duties” will customise the occupation list to show only the applicable “Housewife” and “Househusband” entries and will default employers business type to “Not in employment” making your occupation selection easier. Similarly, selecting an employment status of “Full time Education” will show only those occupation entries relating to student activities where you are “Not in employment”.
I cannot find an exact match for my occupation or employer’s business?
If you cannot find an exact match, please select the description that most closely matches the occupation or business. If you still cannot find a match, please call us on 0800 99 1066 and we will help you.
