This field is typically found on the online portal you use to submit the policy, on a PDF application, or on a paper form supplied by an agent.

Common Places to Input Hours
Most insurers centralize employment information in a dedicated part of the application:
- Online account dashboard – a form field under "Personal Information" or "Employment History."
- Broker or agent portal – a worksheet or digital questionnaire sent for completion.
- Paper application – a printed section titled "Employment Details" where you write the weekly or monthly hours.
What Information Is Usually Required
Beyond the raw number of hours, insurers often ask for:
- Average weekly hours worked.
- Type of employment (full‑time, part‑time, self‑employed).
- Employer name and contact information for verification.
Why Accurate Hours Matter
Correctly reporting your work hours helps insurers assess risk and determine eligibility for certain discounts or policy options. Inaccurate entries can delay underwriting or lead to coverage gaps.
Tips for Accurate Entry
Use recent pay stubs or a contract to confirm your average weekly hours, and double‑check the field before submitting. If you change jobs or work schedules, update the insurer promptly to keep the policy current.
