What should I do if I enrol a worker with an incorrect start date?

If you have recently enrolled an employee with an incorrect start date, you’ll need to cancel their enrolment and re-enrol them with the correct start date. The process of cancelling an employee’s enrolment is known as de-enrolment.

To de-enrol an employee, you’ll need the employer Nest account number (starting with EMP) and the following information about the employee being de-enrolled:

• surname
• date of birth
• National Insurance number or alternative unique identifier
• gender

To request de-enrolment, please see How can I de-enrol a member by file upload?

Once the de-enrolment is processed, you can re-enrol the employee with the correct start date. To do this, please see How do I enrol workers online?

If an employee is re-enrolled with a start date from a previous pay period, this can make contribution schedules you would have already paid to show as unpaid. For more information please see Why has my schedule moved from Paid into Unpaid?
