In this demo, we'll look at creating your NEST account online.
NEST is designed around the needs of your workers
and can help you meet your new duties easily.
To begin click Start employer sign up from the NEST login page.
There are three steps in this task.
First, you'll be asked to fill in your personal details.
Once you're done click Next step.
After filling in your personal details, provide additional details such as your
email address, password and PIN details that you'll use to access your secure
NEST account in future.
Once you're done click Next step.
The next step is to select 3 secret questions and answers
which are memorable and do not change.
Then click Submit your details.
You've now created your own user account.
After you've submitted your details, you'll receive an email
in your primary email account.
You need to click the link in the email and
follow instructions to verify your account.
Then, log in to your NEST account.
This brings you to the Employer Terms and Conditions page.
Agreeing to the terms and conditions includes agreeing
to send information to NEST in the correct format.
If you're not ready to accept them yet,
simply click Not yet and create your
NEST online account straight away.
However, you'll need to accept the terms and conditions
before you actually start using NEST.
You'll now see six tasks for you to work through.
You don't have to complete all these tasks in one go.
You can log out at any stage and your settings will be
saved only when you have completed all the
steps in one of the six tasks.
If you've accepted the terms and conditions,
then you've already completed the first one.
The second task on the top row is Enter your business information.
We'll look at that now.
Start by giving us information about your organisation.
All the mandatory fields are marked with an asterisk.
You'll also tell us your PAYE reference.
Depending on how your organisation works,
you could have more than one PAYE reference.
You can add them all to a single NEST setup with a single
staging date or set up NEST separately for each PAYE. It's up to you.
Then enter your staging date.
This is the date by when your organisation has
to comply with its workplace pension duties.
It's important to include an accurate staging date
so you can use NEST for automatic enrolment.
Find out your employer duty date by referring to the
document under Useful tools and information.
Once you're done click Next step.
In Step 2 - Contact details you'll be asked to
complete your primary contact's details.
The primary contact is the main point of contact for NEST.
They'll receive a copy of all the most important
communications from NEST but won't necessarily be
the person who deals with the scheme day-to-day.
Enter your postcode and click Find address.
If you can't find your address in the list, type it out.
Once you're done click Next step.
Step 3 - Additional information is the last step under this task.
This information is useful for us to know a bit
more about the organisation and where you heard about NEST.
When you've finished entering your business information, click Done.
You'll see the NEST home page again with a tick beside
Edit your business information.
At this point, you can go straight on to set up your scheme
by selecting step number four - Set up your scheme
in the NEST homepage.
Or if you want to create additional users known
as delegated access, you can do that now.
