Taylor's gross pay is 10% of $2,750, which is $275. Since she is an outside salesperson, she is exempt from FLSA minimum wage and overtime requirements, so her employer does not need to contribute anything additional towards her pay to meet FLSA standards. Therefore, the correct answer is C, $275 gross pay and $0 employer contribution.
