Ideas into Reality

​How do you handle someone who has reached their top pay?

I have an employee that I hired at $20, gave $2 raise at 6 months and another $2 at 1 year. Their two year anniversary is coming up and to be honest $24 is top pay for the job they do. I am paying 20% more for this position than others in the area. No other benefits except 3 weeks PTO. There are only two people working for the company and if they left, I would just stop selling the product they help produce and hire a delivery driver one day a week to do what they do one day a week or do it myself. I really should just eliminate the position, but they generate just enough profit with the work that they do to pay their salary. It’s pretty much a wash. If they were to generate more, I would have to hire another person to help keep up and then I would be in the negative. Growth is not in my plans. I was planning to tell them that they have reached top pay for their position. There is no place for them to go up from here. I would expect them to not be happy with this and potentially be a disgruntled employee that makes my life worse. I’d end up having to fire them. I just hate the drama associated with all that. How would you handle this situation.
