I was (still am) confused because they say employees will be 'salaried' the same and than receive 75% of full time 'earn'. Salary and earn are the same to me.
Salaried means an employee is paid a fixed amount per calendar time (per week, month, or year). The word "salaried" doesn't specify the amount, just the structure of pay.
The alternative is "hourly" where the employee is paid per hour worked or "piecework" where the person (typically not an employee) is paid per unit of work (bushel picked, unit assembled, etc)
From the original quote: "These 30-hour employees will be salaried and receive the same benefits" means:
"These employees will be salaried [not hourly]." and
"These employees will receive the same [non-cash] benefits."
Nowhere does it say nor imply "These employees will receive the same salary."
