If I work Mon-Fri, 10-2, which is a total of 20 hours per week...how much annual leave will I receive, based on the company giving 4 weeks to a full time worker. Logic would tell me I'd only get half of that, but I've been told different by friends.

i doubt you'd even get that, it depends on your companies rules

The Working TIme Regulations 1998 sets out the provisions here.
Each employee is entitled to 4 weeks paid leave per year, but your employer can enhance this if they wish. So for a full timer, this would be 5 days x 4 weeks = 20 days.
Based on the 4 week minimum you will be entitled to 5 days (of 4 hours) x 4 weeks = 20 days (of 4 hours each).
Basically, it will be the same as if you were working, no more, no less.

In my previous job I worked 18 hours a week, because of the length of time I had been there I got EXACTLY half the Annual Leave that a Full Time Employee got. I had been there 5 years at the time - if I was Full Time I would have got 29 days Annual Leave and the 8 Bank Holidays - but as I was Part Time I got 14.5 days a year and 4 Bank Holidays.
If still unsure ask your Personnel Department to work it out and put in writing in case anyone queries it.

Like others have said, check your contract of employment.
Most places I've worked tend to calculate entitlement on a percentage or pro-rata basis.
So it will depend on what a full time working week is. If for example it is 40 hours, then I would expect you to get half. But it gets complicated if it's 37 1/5 hours, or 35 etc.
You also then can get into the confusing area of what they do about Bank Holidays, as again these tend to be done in the same way. Doesn't necesarily mean that if you always work on a Monday (which a lot of Bank Holidays do) that you are entitled to each one off with full pay.
Sorry, but it's definitely complicated.
Suggest you look at your contract, and have a chat with Human Resources, or a manager, or someone else who works similar hours. Or make it a question to ask at interview if you haven't got the job yet.

You will get the same amount of weeks at 20 hours a weeks pay. If you are in permanent part time employment, you should have a contract of employment which should set out all of your entitlements. If you are in the UK that is.

Your leave will be worked out in hours therefore equivlent of 4weeks would be classed at 80hours, or rather this is what your entitled to you should still beable to take 4weeks it's just worked this way as your hours are shorter.

holiday is usually given pro rata to the amount of days/hours worked so you should get 2/3weeks a year? check your contract of employment it should tell you on there. if they try and stiff you go to citizens advice

here in the US you don't usually get AL for a part-time job unless your employer agrees, get it on paper!
