So I called my work this morning and told them I couldn’t come in as I vomited last night (I work with elderly and sick people, too), but they told me I had to come in due to their being no one to cover me. I’m not sure what the rules are but it doesn’t seem right to me. I just want to know where I stand with it?

Legally they can fire you for any reason or none.

Yes they can make you.

No. They can't physically force you to show up. They can fire you for not coming to work. You have to decide whether you have a virus that is contagious or something upset your stomach and you are actually feeling fine and can work. You may want to go to an urgent care clinic.

I just want to know, "Why is this question in the Computer section?"

Your employer should know better by risking the health of the elderly and sick people to allow you into work until you have a clean bill of health.
