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.

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.
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.
