That’s EU-wide. https://europa.eu/youreurope/business/human-resources/employ...:

“You must offer your part‑time staff the same employment conditions as full-time workers, including pay, leave, notice periods and other rights and benefits linked to their employment. The employment conditions should be applied on a pro-rata basis compared to full time workers. For example, if a part-time worker works half the hours of a full-time worker, they should receive half the amount of annual leave.

[…]

Whenever possible, you should try to accommodate requests from your employees if they want to change their working schedules, such as:

- transferring from full-time to part-time

- transferring from part-time to full-time

- increasing their working hours

You cannot dismiss an employee if they refuse to transfer from part-time to full-time work or vice versa.“*
