is it correct that clients payroll team know about my daily rate ?

[Sysman]

Yes and Yes.

It's amazing what knowledge staff in the accounting department have about the company. Generally they are boring because they are not allowed to reveal the interest information they know like - the entire department will be shut down in 18 months and moved abroad.

Going back to my first job, the data entry girls could deduce quite a surprising amount from the invoice batches they were bashing in.

And when it was my job to print the suppliers' cheques each month, it wasn't too hard to project that the total turnover was going to be nicely up on the previous year.

The guy has been incredibly unprofessional in mentioning his in conversation with you.

What exactly did he say?

Sounds as if it can only have been said in jealousy of how much you are on.
