Eligible and non-eligible jobholders who have been enrolled are given a month to opt out starting from the date that membership with NEST has been established. For this reason, once your opt out period has passed and we know there are no refunds due to you (because you have not exercised your right to opt out), we will inform Nest of your contribution by the 6th of the month following the opt out end date. Nest will process this information and you will be able to view your contributions in your pension pot. Contributions will remain in a pending payment status until Nest has processed the payment that we have made to them which should be within a few days of the 22nd of the month.
