More details to this question:
I am already on a rotating on call duty for emergency call outs. I get paid for being on call on my rotation. Now my company is requiring us to be available for non emergency call outs without being compensated for it.

You haven't really given me enough information to allow me to give you an answer. I'm assuming your employer will pay you for the actual time you are "called out." Do I understand your question to be "does my employer have to pay me for time when it requires me to be available to work even though I'm not scheduled and the "call out" is not an emergency?"
