7.60 ELEMENTS OF DEFENSES
Understanding this form
The 7.60 Elements of Defenses form is used by defendants in cases related to wage discrimination under the Equal Pay Act. The form provides a framework for presenting valid defenses against claims of pay disparity based on sex. Unlike other forms that may simply record wage information or employee roles, this form specifically outlines the criteria under which a defendant can legally justify different pay rates, focusing on seniority systems, merit systems, production quality, and factors other than sex.
Key parts of this document
- Testimony from the defendant regarding the basis for pay differences.
- Criteria for affirmative defenses, including seniority and merit systems.
- Exemptions based on factors unrelated to sex.
- Instructions for tailoring language to specific defenses asserted.

It should be used in legal situations where the defendant aims to assert that pay differences are justified due to legitimate business-related factors. This includes cases where differences arise from seniority, merit evaluations, production measurements, or other non-sex-based reasons.
