YES - you are being short-changed.
Someone who works full-time and get's 20 days holiday will effectively be paid 20 days x 8 hours (for example).
On a part-time basis this would be 10 days x 8 hours (for example).
So in essence it is NOT about the number of days/time you have off, but the hours your employer has to pay for your holiday.
So speak to them and don't let them rip you off.

If you normally work two days a week, for example, you are entitled to 4 weeks off, covering those two days.
If you think that the average week is 5 days, then 20 days is 4 weeks, which is the legal minimum entitlement.
Therefore, you can have 4 times your normal working week as holidays, whatever that amounts to.

You don't say if you work complete days (but only some of them each week), or everyday (but a reduced number of hours per day). Either way you should work out your holiday entitlement in hours, not days. That makes it simpler to understand if you are being short-changed. You should receive (in hours) a direct % of the working week of a full-timers.
The others above have kind of intimated this.
The same applies to Public Holidays. There are 10 of these in the UK, and you should have (in hours) a proportionate number of hours applied for time off for PHs.

It depends how many hours you are working, as most holidays will be allocated on a pro rata basis.
If a full timer works 40 hours and gets 20 days holiday, a part timer who works 20 hours a week should get 10 days plus 50% of any public holidays.
If you work more hours, you holiday entitlement should be a pro rata percentage of the annual entitlement, i.e. somebody working 30 hours per week should get 15 days holiday plus three quarters of the public holidays.
