What if I’m using a third party payroll provider?

We’re working with the major suppliers of payroll and middleware packages to make our data management process seamless and easy.

It’s likely your payroll provider will need some specific information from you about your NEST account. Your payroll provider may need to know information based on how you’ve set up your scheme or the settings you’ve chosen. To know the list of payroll providers offering services to NEST along with technical guides please see Web services for payroll integration.

You’ll have to make sure that NEST and your payroll are using the same dates for your pay periods and how you’re calculating contributions. We’d recommend you check this information with your payroll software before setting up your NEST scheme. This will prevent errors further down the line. Please see our Employer payroll guide to get help on sending files to NEST from the payroll software.
