"These 30-hour employees will be salaried and receive the same benefits as traditional 40-hour workers, but they will receive only 75 percent of the pay full-time workers earn."
How does this sentence make any sense?

(I'm assuming you were confused by "same benefits" and "75% pay". Benefits, in this context, is the non-cash benefits: health insurance, PTO accrual, etc.)
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."
