The Federation of European Employers has introduced a pay benchmarking app called Jobsworth.

The app, which can be downloaded to any iPhone, covers pay markets in 47 different countries across Europe. Its Lite version just covers the UK and Ireland.

The application measures gross hourly pay so that it can be converted to weekly or monthly figures according to the actual hours that employees work.

Robin Chater, secretary-general of the Federation of European Employers, said: “The initial versions will be on an Apple platform, but we plan to launch it onto Android and other platforms soon.

“Pay markets differ widely across Europe, but with the full version of Jobsworth it is easy to toggle through countries to discover what midpoint pay levels apply in different national marketplaces for the job that has been evaluated.”
