Leave

In this case, I'd say the employer was correct, and are probably requiring leave requests to be made in hours not days. This is what I'd do when hours are regular but different depending on what day of the week it is.

Ask if they'd be happy to be paid for 11.2 hours over the Easter weekend on that basis (assuming they don't work bank holidays).

If you are on about just booking the Friday off then when it is due you should revert back to an 8am start for the rest of that week.

I work with someone who works 8 hours on Mondays and Fridays and 4 hours on Tuesdays to Thursdays, so 28 hours a week (5.6 hours being a theoretical average day though a shift is never this length). This is their permanently contracted hours, not an option of flexitime.
They have to be replaced with other separately paid staff when they take holiday and can't understand why the company wants to deduct 16 hours rather than 11.2 hours from their holiday entitlement when they have a long weekend by taking both a Friday and Monday off. Are they correct?

Yes, they normally work 8 hrs on a Mon and Fri so 16 hrs would be deducted from their entitlement

Exactly this. You shouldn't be taking both leave and time off in lieu at the same time. So either carry over the TOIL if permitted or don't do any extra hours that week.
