wage caps

Pay ceiling rules

Wage caps are limits on how much employees can be paid, typically set by leagues, organizations, or governments.

In professional sports, salary caps restrict what teams can spend on player compensation, promoting competitive balance: The wage cap prevents wealthy teams from hoarding talent.

Outside sports, wage caps may appear in public sector employment or executive compensation regulations.
