I read that the HE should be calculated on their usual working days so to me I took that to be 3 days. Last year, she was given 15 days plus all bank holidays. But has queried it today as I took over late last year.

With your calculation we're being generous

So last year she had 23 days? I'd ask her to show her workings, and be ready to show yours if you want to reduce it to 21 days.

What this means is:
* When the employee's working day falls on a BH, that day is paid for, but not worked, and it comes out of their leave
* When a BH occurs on a day that the employee isn't working, nothing happens

You cannot give them AL pro ratad then just the BHs that they work - that would either advantage or disadvantage them depending on which days of the week they work. Hence it has to be 20.5 or 21.

I think Kiki's explained how BHs work for p/t staff very well, so do take note of that. We've got someone about to start who's only going to work Mondays, so she'll have far less choice about when to use her leave days than if she was working on Tuesdays! She's also only with us for the first half of the year, when so many of the BHs fall!
