LETS is the time entry and attendance system for Lab employees (excluding GSRAs). The system was developed and implemented at Berkeley Lab in the mid-1990's, and was the first ORACLE-based business application to be deployed lab-wide. LETS provides the capability to submit, approve and transmit employee time and project data to other Berkeley Lab systems, including the Payroll and Labor Distribution systems.  

LETS can be accessed via the Internet from inside or outside the Lab. LETSLite can be used by Employees, Approvers, backup Approvers, Timekeepers, backup Timekeepers, Inputters, backup Inputters and Work Leads.

Access to LETSLite is via the user's LDAP username and password.

LETS System Overview

LETS allows employees to enter their own time, and allows supervisors to review and approve time for their employees. LETS provides information such as current leave balances, active projects and pay policies. All time entered into the system is checked for validity. The time records, once transmitted to Payroll, effect the Payroll System and the Labor Distribution System (LDRS).
