However, employees may also access their Mercer email accounts over the Internet or via mobile device (e.g., iPhone, Windows-based Droid).

Avoiding Spam

We caution you not to respond to any email or click any links in an email from a sender that you do not know. Mercer will not solicit password information from you, and you should never respond to emails that do so. Tools and applications are provided to reduce the amount of spam (junk email) that arrives in your Mercer email account; however, new methods are constantly being developed in an attempt to bypass our tools.
