That is not the correct procedure. The Dom is supposed to test you. If you fail he is supposed to offer training and support before re testing you. He is supposed to give you time to get up to scratch before retesting you. He is not supposed to mention it within earshot of others.

don't fall for that old routine - get him to put that sack threat in writing , have a Mobile phone switched to video record or MP3 player on to record him if he threatens you again - get what he says Bluetoothed over or on the USB lead to the PC and back it to disc and you'll have that bully bang to rights + Log everything , who , what , where , when , whom and why .

There's been a few DUMs that have gone white as a sheet when thats been done .

Bang a grievance in on him to prove you've tried to go through the channels , RM don't go against their own but they can't sack you for putting a grievance in .

there's now way on earth you can be sacked. call his bluff ask why it's taken 7 yrs for them to find out your sorting isn't up to scratch. but rember there is no way you can be sacked.

no worries mate you will have to be realy poor to fail the test!! remember the test is for ONE minuite no more

dont worry about it after geo-route only 2 guys can pass the test in our office and its strange that in the last five years no new starters have done a sorting test.

We recently had one in our office and to be honest we just took it as a laugh. I think our best sorters were getting around 33-35 letters per minute on the IPS.

Nobody failed, although we didn't know what the required rate was.

I didn't have to do it as part timers don't do IPS in our DO anymore unless its a busy day and there is mail left after the rurals have done their 20 mins IPS that day.

WTL today, IPS tests soon, 31 letters per min is the required 'mark' and that should mean 500 letters per 20 minutes of sorting approx. !! CWU agreement too.

Also Prep test on the rm2000 frame, 25 letters per minute !

We will be tested twice in the next 4 weeks or so, the 1st time will be testing on the IPS/Prep and for the 2nd time that our standards are kept up !!

Great !!
