Introduction

Mirius Global Hygiene Solutions (Coventry Chemicals Ltd) was established in 1963 and has been a leader in the manufacture and supply of cleaning liquids, powders and tablets to suit all professional, retail and healthcare cleaning and hygiene requirements. 

What is the legislation? 

As an employer with a workforce of 250 employees or more, we are required by law to publish annual information relating to the gender pay gap in our organisation under the Equality Act 2010 (Gender Pay Gap Regulations) 2017. 

The following data, which has been accurately calculated following statutory guidance is based on a snapshot date of 5th April 2024.  This information will be published on the Gender Pay Gap Service (a government website) as well as our own website. 

What does the gender pay gap mean? 

The gender pay gap measures the difference between men’s and women’s average earnings.  It does not take into account people’s roles or seniority.  The gender pay gap is not the same as equal pay which means that men and women performing equal work, or work of equal value, must receive equal pay.  

Gender Split

On 5th April 2024, Mirius Global Hygiene Solutions employed 252 staff of which 74 (30%) were female and 171 (70%) were male. 

Pay Gap Figures

Mirius Global Hygiene Solutions (based on the snapshot date of 5th April 2024 and the 12 months ending on this date) are shown below: 

Mean gender pay gap using hourly pay -0.4%

Median gender pay gap using hourly pay 10%

This is the first year that we have reported on the gender pay gap and although we have no comparable data our mean figure indicates that the gap is in favour of females, however there are more males in senior roles in comparison to women which will typically drive a gender pay gap. 

Bonus Pay Gap 

Mean bonus gender pay gap -10%

Median bonus gender pay gap 20% 

The mean bonus gender pay gap demonstrates that women received more on average by way of bonus than their male counterparts.    

Pay Quartiles

The percentage of employees in each hourly pay quarter who are men and women is shown in the table below.
