These are the steps to complete when you sign up to NEST. We've designed each one to be simple and easy to follow.

This is where you set up a username and password to give you access to a secure personal area on our website. From there you will be able to set up and manage your scheme at any time. You can log out and log in to your personal area whenever you need to.

You need to agree to our Employer Terms and Conditions before you can start setting up your account. These are your contract with NEST. You will be able to review the terms and conditions and agree to them later on if you choose. You can also print or email them.

This is where you tell us about your organisation and let us know who will be the primary contact. Your primary contact will receive copies of all correspondence relating to your scheme and will be the main point of contact with NEST.

Here you give us the details of any other people you would like to have access to your account. You can give these people different access rights and they will only receive communications that relate to those roles.

You will now be ready to set up your scheme. This is where you tell us when and how you'll make contributions for your workers. You can decide to treat all your workers in the same way or to make different arrangements for different workers.

We've prepared an information pack you can give your workers before they choose to enrol in NEST. This includes easy to use templates for you to add your scheme's details.

Once you have activated your NEST pension scheme, you will be able to complete the checklist that will enable you to activate your account. Once your account is activated you will be able to enrol your workers and make contributions.
