Salary Caps = Age Discrimination - Litigation Consultant Sedgwick Employee Review

Salary caps disproportionately affect older employees with 25+ years of experience. You can be given a stellar performance review and then told that you will never receive another merit increase again because you've "capped out" of the arbitrary salary range assigned to your title. You will be told that you no longer receive merit increases so that younger, less experienced colleagues can receive the increases. You can be told you're promotable, but never promoted because it's more valuable to keep you in the job you know best. This form of age discrimination is against the company's own stated anti-discrimination policy.
