Key highlights
Nest API connection. We are pleased to announce you can now connect via Nest API. You will be able to retrieve opt out information and send over contribution submissions without downloading or uploading data. This is controlled within InPay with a direct connection to your account with Nest.
Multi-factor authentication. We have introduced multi-factor authentication for InPay and our payslip portal and is available for all users. If you are an InPay admin user, you will have the ability to add this to each individual user's account for InPay, and switch on the ability for all employees to use MFA for the payslip portal.

Go to, company - pension schemes and enter your pension provider details. Then within processing - pension processyou can enter the login details for Nest. Once connected, your opt out information will be available for you to review and upload. You can also send a contribution file to Nest; this will automatically include a joiner's file. We have provided a reporting button, allowing you to download a copy of the data file. For full details on how to set up and use this functionality go to pension process.

MFA is a two-step process. You will enter your username and password as usual within your login screen and then asked to enter a one-time password. This password is generated by a mobile application authenticator. These can be downloaded via app stores, the most common authenticators are google authenticator and microsoft authenticator, but others are available.
When you use the authenticator, you will be given a one-time password (which is time sensitive) to enter in the login screen. This adds an additional layer of security to your data and login details, based on a password that only you know, and a one-time password on a device that only you have.
If you are using your own single sign on provider to log in to our systems, and/or have your own MFA set up, you may not require RSM's multi-factor to be set up.
MFA can be used alongside single sign on if you wish to add another level of security. When a user clicks on the single sign on button, they will be presented with the verification box to enter a code.

We have made a change to our custom importer when updating P45 previous w1/m1 tax basis field. Previously this required a Y or N but would fail on update. Now you will use 0 to not tick the box and 1 for the tick box to be populated. This updates the section tax details, within employee - previous employment P45.

You can now use the field worker pay type within employee page in the custom importer. It will allow the following names or value: 'not selected' or 0, 'salaried' or 1, "grade" or 2, "hourly" or 3, "timesheet" or 4. If the field is left empty for a new starter, it will set the worker to 'not selected'. When updating a current employee and column is left empty, it will leave the field unchanged.
Custom importing P45 student loan detailsAnchor Custom importing P45 student loan detail Custom importing P45 student loan detail
Previously when using the custom importer for P45 details and marking the student loan indicator as Y, the plan type field was remaining blank in the statutory loans screen. The plan type will now populate as expected. Also, when adding previous employment P45 details, a student loan with type 'plan 1' will not be created when an employee already has a student loan set up on pay -student loans screen.

We have improved the error messages within the messages section if the below errors occur, allowing you to make the appropriate changes to the import file. Previously this would display as object reference, instead of the error.

We have developed a new option to export P60, P45 and payslips based on report groups. This has been option has been added to processing - external export screen. When you select your export type and export level, click export. You will now see a new dropdown field called group filter. Any report groups you have set up will be available within this dropdown. Our external export screen allows for the generation and delivery of Payslips, P60s, and P45 to a specified SFTP location.

We have provided a tick box option to consolidate all payrolls within the pension exports - royal london pension contribution report. This will allow you to have 1 report with all payroll frequencies reported and stops the requirement to combine multiple reports outside of InPay.

Previously gross earnings for NICs in period, total employer NICs in period and employee contributions in period were displaying incorrect values. This would only happen when there was a change to the NI letter or there had been NI movements in the pay period after the first FPS submission. This will now display expected values under each table letter. Please note: This has had no impact on monies owed to the HMRC or the Employee's NI record with the HMRC, as YTD figures are used in both cases.

If you have more than 9 companies within your InPay connection, you will now be able to type the name of the company you are looking for within the search bar. This helps minimise the number of companies shown and allows you quicker access. We have provided this on the initial login page, and in the top left search bar within InPay.
