Yes, they would, but obviously at the part-time rate. Effectively, the idea is to provide leave for the amount of time that you actually work part-time hours. So, if I was working 20 hours a week and I accessed this form of leave, then I would be entitled to 10 days of leave at the rate that I'm being paid, being the part-time rate for 20 hours a week. You don't qualify for 40 hours a week or 38 hours a week of leave if you are only working 20 hours a week. Your entitlement is to be paid the amount that you're paid when you're actually at work.
