I'm assuming this only happens in smaller companies?
Nope. I have a friend that works at a publicly traded company with > 15k employees. In 2012 they capped him at $8k annual contributions and he definitely is not a HCE, although in his company he must be considered a baller. My wife makes almost as much as him working 4-days a week at a different company and is allowed to max out her 403b + has a defined pension plan.

This may be a different issue where they can only defer a certain percentage of salary, say 20%. That was common at one point. Now most plans allow up to 80% of salary deferral. This is done also to allow Lower wage employees a better chance of hitting the government established contribution limitations.
If they limited your friend based on other employee contribution percentages he is a HCE or is family to the owner or is an owner. No other way they can limit him.
