I'm surprised the real point has been missed.
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.

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.

… I’m wondering whether its normal for all payroll staff to know my daily rate ?
Should I assume all payroll staff knows about my daily rate?

I'm direct so he knows my rate and so are most people where I work.

Do you mean he knows the rate paid to the agent, or the rate that you are getting?
If the former, it would be impossible to have nobody at a client knowing what they are paying the agent.
If you mean the latter, some client-agency contracts specify the agent's commission, from which it is not hard to work out your rate.

There are lots of reasons for people to legitimately know your rate and this sounds like one of them. I'm a PM and I know the rate of all the contractors working on my projects so I can control my budgets properly. The finance guy in IT knows my rate so he can make sure I am in the budget for 2013 and so do all the PMO people in our area who process my invoices.
