Mercer Select US - EEOC proposes rule implementing Title II of the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act

Using "Acting as"

The "Acting as" feature on Mercer Select allows Mercer employees to see Select in the same way as Mercer clients and contacts who are members of one or more of the Select offerings. Simply use the pulldown menu on the top of every Mercer Select page, choose which of the common membership roles you want to play, and view the content in the same way as a member of that offering (or group of offerings).

Like some Mercer Select members, you may encounter content that is available only to certain membership offerings. In this case, you will be directed to a screen with a message explaining what steps you can take to view the content. As a Mercer employee, all you'll have to do is switch your role back to the Acting as Consultant role to see the content.

If your clients and contacts encounter Select content they can't access, you may be able to give them access by making them members of additional Select membership offerings. Please contact Select customer service for help.

You can gain access to all Mercer Select content - including internal-only content - by setting your "Acting as" role to "Consultant."

EEOC proposes rule implementing Title II of the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act

A proposed Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) rule would implement Title II of the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008 (GINA), which prohibits employment bias based on an applicant's or employee's genetic information and restricts employers, unions and other covered entities from intentionally acquiring or disclosing such private medical data. The EEOC is seeking public comment on the proposed rule until May 1, 2009, and will publish a final GINA rule by May 21, 2009. The law's employment provisions take effect Nov. 21, 2009.
