Can your boss put you on call with no pay being a part time worker?

It depends on the nature of your employment.
If you are an "at will" employee, then your boss can ask this of you. At will employment is the most common type, and it means that you and your boss are at liberty to alter the terms of employment at any time. It also means that you are at liberty to quit at any day with or without reason. Your boss is also free to fire you at any time with or without reason.
If you have an employment contract that specifically outlines your duties and responsibilities, then your boss might not be able to put you on call with no pay.
I would advise you to read your employee manual to see what the exact conditions of employment are. If you have an employment contract read that as well. If your contract terms have been abrogated, contact a lawyer if you would like.
Most likely though, you are an at-will employee. If you would like to keep your job, then you will probably have to be on call without pay. If you do not accept this condition, you are free to terminate your employment relationship at any time.
A more amenable way to solve this problem would be to talk to your boss about the reasons why you don't like being on call. If you are a good employee, he might agree not to make you do it. You should speak to your boss, it might work.

Am I entitled to compensation for weekend on-call hours whether or not I actually go into work. The maintenance workers are compensated for being on-call and my fellow Social Worker and I are not. We often take phone calls and are not paid for doing so. ?
You are entitled to being paid for your job, but not necessarily for being on-call. That's usually just part of the job description. Unless it's in your contract, then the answer would be no. It's really up to the employer to determine this.
