Yes, I know quite a few that have capped already. Some capped quite young even. Lots of trades (plumbers, electricians, welders etc), teachers, ECE's, retail and service industries(managemen t positions, not min wage positions). When I worked healthcare, quite a few of those positions, especially management were at the top of their pay scale as well. After awhile, raises became less often and for many, eventually stop.
I'm sure different companies, especially private, are different though. Some offer more benefits instead of raises for example. I can't speak from first hand knowledge on all these positions but only from what friends and family have mentioned. Maximum wages definitely happen though!

That's interesting. I think it might differ depending on province though. My husband is a trade and journeys person in Ontario but covers North America. His industry across the country have not capped...unless they are smaller business' but that's always the case generally where income level is lower. We know so many trades people...it's an immigration thing and again, most are actually paid above labour market value as a result of a huge shortage of trades people in this country. Retail at least in Ontario, is nearly always minimum wage, so there is always a rate increase as the government increases it. I worked healthcare too and annual pay rises occurred across the board, both in public and private sector. The more qualified, the greater the pay increase. Again, I am sure it differs in different provinces but I can speak for sure about trades as I know multiple people who have come to Ontario, SK, NS, AB and Vancouver, unless your talking about the minority being in remote/rural areas or in over saturated areas so then it is relative. Statistically, pay increases occur in average across the board, very few positions/industries have reached their maximum without any increase incentive for years like some daycare providers. Yes that manager may not make more than his 80K a year, but may instead receive an increase in car allowance or bonus. Not always dollars per hour, but still an increase of earnings somewhere along the line. If I can't put my rate up by $3 an hour because I price myself out of the areas going rate, then I can't take little incentives such is paid vacation in it's place because if it was the norm for my area I would already be doing it.
