These are resourcing standards.
They can have whatever resourcing standards they want but these are not individual performance standards and cannot be used as such.
(Unless your DOM has had a sneak preview of the new agreement :shock: )

Both sound quite achievable to me. 23 trays of flats is a piece of piss. Probably struggle to do 8 trays of letters at this time of year but not too bad the rest of the year.

It is about 20 flats/minute and 30 letters/minute.
It would depend if the trays are being tipped for you, how many frames you have and whether the pigeon holes are being cleared down as well.
It is roughly the 1 minute test less 10% which doesn't really allow any time to wander off and get a coffee or chat about the Ashes score ......

But it doesn't matter because it isn't an individual performance standard.
