Minimum hours at work?

Asked to cover a shift at work while on holiday
Is it ok for my boss to ring me while I'm taking paid holiday (time off) to ask if I'm willing to come in to work a shift?

Job agency confusion

Hello I've been off sick from work since last week and got a sick note from my doctor on Monday and sent it to my manager.
