Upload the NEST Contribution Schedule file to NEST

You shouldn’t open the file in Excel prior to uploading it to NEST because Excel changes dates in to formats that will fail Nest’s validation.

1. Login to your NEST account on NEST’s website.

2. On the ‘Welcome to your NEST homepage’, select Manage your contribution schedules.

3. In Manage your contributions schedules, go to Your unpaid contribution schedules and look at the table to find the contribution schedule you want to send to NEST.

4. Select the link in the ‘Edit/Pay’ column of the contribution schedule you want to send. The dates shown for the Earnings period and Payment due date must match those used to create the NEST Contribution Schedule file.

5. Select ‘Upload file’.

6. Browse to the location in your payroll where the NEST Contribution Schedule output file was created, select the file and choose ‘Upload file’. NEST checks the file to ensure the format and Employer Reference number are correct.

7. Once the file checking has been completed successfully, select ‘Process this file’ to upload the file to NEST.
