Did anyone else check their paystub today fro Thursday paycheck and see a line on there that says “lump sum payout?” Not sure what this is, not Sam’s share. I am guessing anyone who didn’t receive a 2% increase due to being at cap got a lump sum instead?

The more y'all talk about it, the more likely it will be the next thing eliminated. Put a sock in it.
If you have no lump sum on your check and no 2% raise that means you were bumped up in pay last year when they raised starting pay.
WRONG.
the lump sum is for PTO over the carry over amount .
Nothing on my check and no 2 percent either. I do not think it fair not to at least give us a yearly cost of living increase. I liked it when we got evaluations and pay raises based on our performance. Perhaps they should have pay steps for different positions. Also if you are at top step COLA's are always given. Of course I am basing this on my career job where I was a public employee.
Yes, I got the lump sum also. I’m topped out in my area because they lowered the pay for back room associate this past year. Would def rather have a raise.
You do realize that if you are capped out and got the lump sum, that next year your 2% will be just the same as this year and the next year and the next year. If you got a raise of 2% you would receive more money each year because you make more with the raise. Just another way of stabbing us in the chest where we can see it coming.
