what's illegal at work?

Well I'm currently really pissed off. I just think it's stupid when I got "spazzed" at from my shift-leader at work saying how it's unacceptable to say i'm sick and how i can't come in last minute. blah blah blah. okay but the thing is, i was ON CALL, meaning that if someone else can't make it to their original shift because they are sick, i have to come in. So i got told that it was unacceptable and how i have to explain to my manager what i did wrong and whatnot. So here's my final question, isn't it illegal for my manager to put me "ON CALL" without paying me even if i didn't get called in for work? i just think it's really stupid that i have to make sure i can't make plans on my on call shift and getting my plans ruined just cus i'm on call and i don't even get paid. there's even a new rule at my work. "if you are sick, u MUST provide a doctor's note." i'm thinking of quitting tomorrow cus I can't take it anymore. I'm on call every single friday and i can't make plans before friday because i have to call in 3 hours before my shift on friday and ask if i need to come in or not. *sigh*
