Currently working an extremely busy and understaffed job, which has meant doing many many exception reports.

Got a couple of questions about these, wondering if anyone with more knowledge than me can help?

if there is an exception report made for a shift that exceeds 13 hours, I understand that a fine is payable to the doctor. Is the fine levied on all the additional hours worked during that shift, or just any hours over 13? I had a shift that was rostered as 0830 to 1730, but ended up being 0800-2130, so 4.5 additional hours in total. Am I paid the ‘fine’ rates for all 4.5 hours, or just the standard pay for 4 hours and then the ‘fine’ rate for the final 0.5?
what should happen regarding a work schedule review? I raised an ER requesting one several months ago as I’m definitely working >48h a week (and have done approx 50h of exception reports in the last 6 months). Spoke with GOSW initially but nothing has changed following this.
if a doctor is found to have been working >48h/week for the duration of a rotation, is there any fine payable (above simple payment for the extra hours worked?)

Keeping this vague to avoid doxxing myself.
Recently received an email from my previous ES, saying that they have forwarded ‘some feedback’ from my last shifts of my last rotation, on to my new ES.

I think I know what it relates to, and my ES has said it’s not to do with clinical/patient care which further confirms it. They said it’s ’nothing to worry about’. I think it relates to being asked to do something on the shift which had previously been agreed I wouldn’t do (as a reasonable adjustment for a disability), and I therefore (politely!) declined to do it.

Despite this, I’m absolutely spiralling. I feel like I’m going to throw up. I feel like everyone must think I am workshy or a failing trainee or a terrible person.

Obviously if it’s something else (or even if it is this incident), I want to reflect on what I could have done better or differently, and what I would change in the future. But I can’t shake the feeling that even getting negative feedback at all means that I am an outlier to the norm in a bad way, and a failing trainee, and that this is a black mark that will stay by my name forever.

Does anyone have any words of wisdom here?

Exception reporting fines - any advice?
