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.

If you can't get anywhere with your manager, take it to the next level. The next level often never hear about their unhappy workforce or bad line managers because everything tends to get dealt with at base level. If necessary, put in a grievance against him... though don't do that until you have a reaction to your doctors letter.

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.
