Support for employers using NEST
NEST is a workplace pension scheme used by many UK employers. MLE Accounting can handle the practical administration associated with the scheme, including employee records, contribution schedules and liaison with payroll. NEST scheme setup starts from £150, excluding VAT. Alternative pension options and ongoing administration can be discussed and priced according to your requirements.

Don't overlook the next deadline
Re-enrolment isn't a one-off.
Approximately every three years, employers must reassess certain staff for re-enrolment and complete a re-declaration of compliance, even where nobody needs to be re-enrolled.
MLE Accounting can assist with this recurring administration and the relevant paperwork.
Important: The legal responsibility for meeting workplace pension duties remains with the employer, even when an accountant handles the administration. This service is administration, not personal investment advice.
Common questions
Pension administration, without the jargon
Do I need a workplace pension if I only have one employee?
Potentially. Employer duties depend on the person's employment status and circumstances. MLE Accounting can help you establish what applies.
Can you manage NEST on an ongoing basis?
Yes. MLE Accounting offers continuing NEST administration, not just initial setup.
Does Moneysoft Payroll Manager work with NEST?

Is re-enrolment required every three years?
Employers normally have re-enrolment duties around every three years, followed by re-declaration of compliance. The Pensions Regulator publishes the relevant deadlines.
