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."

Contractors get another reprieve on E-Verify rule

Federal contractors have gained more time to verify that their employees can legally work in the US. A rule requiring contractors to confirm the legal status of their workers using the E-Verify system will take effect June 30, not May 21, according to the Department of Homeland Security. First proposed by the Bush administration, the rule was originally slated to take effect in February, but the Obama administration postponed implementation until May 21 -- and now June 30 -- to review the rule. A notice is expected to appear soon in the Federal Register. (Select News, 17 Apr 2009)
