Nobody can make you work longer than your contracted hours. You simply say 'no'. Lots of people work longer than their contracted hours but its their choice. You can't say they make you because they can't.

No but presumably you get your rota a couple of weeks or a month before hand? You need to have a conversation with your manager.

So you've already spoken to him. You've been patient but now your ill. Sounds to me like you need to go over his head and speak to his manager.

You can. Give them as much notice as possible just to be nice. But don't turn up just because they put you down for stuff you aren't contracted for, if you don't want to do extra, and especially if the extra is making you ill. I am certain someone else working there would be grateful for the extra hours..given the state of things today. Its near impossible to pick up extra hours for most people.

I suspect they've used the word "flexible" in connection with your working hours and also included the term "and other duties".
