About us
Payroll administration for UK employers and recruitment agencies.
VARIENTNOTE LIMITED is a company registered in England and Wales that offers payroll administration to UK employers and recruitment agencies. We are paid by the business that contracts with us to process payroll. Each arrangement is defined by a written scope, fee basis and allocation of responsibilities.
Our service focuses on the administration of pay runs: receiving approved inputs, calculating payroll, preparing outputs and handling agreed reporting. The employer or agency retains its employment relationship with its workers and remains responsible for approving and funding their pay.
Client arrangements

How a client arrangement is defined

The written agreement identifies the pay frequency, included tasks, information cut-off, authorised contacts, approval stage and reporting responsibilities. It also records how payroll data is transferred and which work requires a separate quote. This gives both parties a reference point if worker numbers or the scope of the service change.

The client supplies the underlying employment and pay decisions. We calculate and administer payroll from those instructions, return the agreed outputs for review and perform submissions only where they are included and authorised.

Who we work with

The businesses we support

We work with employers that want regular payroll processing and with recruitment agencies that payroll workers under their own employer arrangements. An agency may need to bring together approved timesheets, variable rates and frequent starter or leaver information; another employer may have a regular salary run with occasional changes. In either case, we define the information required and the work to be performed before the first run.

How we earn our fee

The employer or agency pays VARIENTNOTE LIMITED for payroll administration. We quote for the agreed volume, frequency and tasks, then invoice the contracting business under that agreement. Wages, PAYE liabilities and pension contributions are the client's obligations; our service fee is separate and is not taken from a worker's pay.

Handling payroll information

Payroll records contain personal and financial details, so an initial enquiry should describe the business requirement without attaching employee records. Once a service is agreed, the client and VARIENTNOTE LIMITED set out the method for exchanging payroll information and the people authorised to give and approve instructions. Our role in processing workers' data for the client is explained in the Privacy Notice and the client agreement.
