My LANL, a personalized Web portal that pulls information from various Lab databases is now available to all Laboratory employees and subcontract personnel. It previously was reserved for managers. My LANL for employees offers single sign-on and pass through to several Labwide systems, such as the Travel System and Time and Effort. Providing convenient employee access to their personnel and administrative request information, the My LANL Web page is maintained by the Information Management (IM) Division and the Chief Information Officer (CIO) on behalf of the Enterprise Project.
Features of My LANL for employees include:
- view and edit your location and phone
- receive alerts such as:
o authorities expiring
o training expiring
o training incomplete/expired
o travel expense claim due
- look at work reports (authorities, badge and access status, property, software licenses, training, travel)
- examine personal reports (e.g., attendance, emergency contacts, vacation/sick, year-to-date payroll)
- view purchasing/property reports
- check purchase requests / purchase order status.
“This is just a start. We have many ideas for things to help employees in addition to managers and we are looking for more ideas,” said Kym Kittell of Advanced Information and Business Application Development (IM-8).
To access My LANL:
1. Open a browser window

FYI, on a Mac, Mozilla and Safari will download some files instead of
opening or running them.

To use the employee features:
