Getting started with Halo

This guide takes you from first contacting Halo through to activating Halo Pay and inviting your first employee.

  1. Start your Halo journey

    Visit the Halo employer page and select See if Halo fits your team.

    Select “See if Halo fits your team” on the Halo employer page.
  2. Choose to set up Halo Pay

    On the following screen, select Set up Halo Pay to begin the employer onboarding process.

    Select “Set up Halo Pay” to get started.
  3. Tell us about your company

    Our onboarding agent will ask for some basic contact and company information. Once we have the details we need, Halo will create your employer account.

    Provide your contact and company details.
  4. Sign in to your new account

    Once your account is ready, select Click here to sign in & continue.

    Sign in to continue setting up your employer account.
  5. Verify your identity

    We'll send a six-digit verification code to your email address. Enter the code to access your account securely.

    Enter the verification code sent to your email address.
  6. Activate Halo Pay

    From your employer dashboard, select Start activation.

    Start the Halo Pay activation process from your dashboard.
  7. Complete the activation steps

    Follow the on-screen process to:

    • Review and accept the employer agreement
    • Confirm your company details
    • Add your banking information
    • Set up the Direct Debit used for Halo's service fee
    • Review and confirm your setup
    Complete each section to activate Halo Pay.
  8. Invite your first employee

    Once Halo Pay is active, invite your first employee from the employer portal. You can invite employees individually or upload several employees at once.

    Invite employees to begin creating their Halo arrangements.

What happens next?

Once invited, the employee will create an arrangement between you and their nursery by adding their child, nursery and arrangement details. If their nursery is not already on Halo, we'll work directly with the nursery to get them set up.

When the arrangement is ready, we'll notify you by email so that you can review and approve it in your employer portal.
