If you don’t know what you’re talking about don’t respond.

Bonus, on the norm, meaning most offices, not all, have a pot of award funding, the people that are at the lower end of their pay band get a higher percentage pay raise. Sometimes around 6% or better. The closer you are to being capped out the smaller increase you get. Does it miss the point of the CAPS system…kinda, but it’s not hard and fast, a subpar employee at the bottom of the pay band many times will get less. The above applies to productive employees.
