Follow this guide if you have set up a brand-new NEST scheme with no schedules.
Overview #
A new NEST scheme will not have any schedules until workers are added.
Steps #
In this case, you should not add or remove the GB NEST Enrol and Contribute API report definition. Instead, you will use the two standard NEST CSV Report definitions (GB NEST member and GB NEST contribution). These CSV files contain enrollment and contribution information.
For the first pay run, only you’ll have to upload them manually to the NEST account.
A schedule will then be created for you on NEST. After this, the 1st schedule has been approved for payment, and the 2nd schedule will be created automatically.
After the pay run is approved in paiyroll®, you can proceed to add the GB NEST Enrol and Contribute API report definition back. This will now operate automatically, as the 2nd schedule has been created and is visible.
