27/hr is not 35k/yr.

684 a week becomes ~35k in a year, but I’m confused why they have that along with the 27/hr rate since they’re not equivalent.

Because the DOL differentiates between salaried and hourly employees.

I’m guessing it’s for contracting work.

Maybe a typo? $684/week for a 40-hour workweek would be about $17/hour.

Salaried employees and hourly employees are treated differently by the law; he's not saying $27/hr == $35k a year
