CVS Lump Sum Merit?

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Anyone know what this is? It showed up on my upcoming paycheck.
It means you make too much money to get a raise. So if you make $100,000 and should get a 5% raise, they give you a $5,000 lump sum instead. This is better for CVS because next year you'll get another $5,000 (total $105,000 annual) instead of going up from $105,000 to $110,250.
