Some things to know

We wanted to remind you that we partnered with Nest Pensions to help you offer the best pension plan for your UK based employees. It’s a legal requirement in the UK to offer a pension plan to employees. With Nest, employees can contribute their pre-tax earnings into a tax-sheltered retirement account, where they’ll be able to select their portfolio and contributions.

Competitive benefits to retain top employees

Offer a compelling tax advantaged pension solution to attract, and retain the top talent on the UK job market.

Employee tax-free retirement contributions

Employees can contribute up to £40,000 per year from their salary tax free. Employer contributions are fixed at 3% of employee salary to comply with local regulations.

Make the transition easy for your employees

All UK employees are already enrolled in Nest, for employees that have an existing pension plan, any existing funds can be transferred into their Nest account.

‍Enrollment

Employees are automatically enrolled in Nest Pensions when added to payroll. Within 10 working days of their first pay cycle, employees will receive an email with their log-in details. If they wish to opt-out, they can do so through the Nest online portal.‍
