yes you are owed a day back.
If youre on 38 hour contract then you only had to work approx 30 hours that week if you had this more or less covered from M-Th, then Fri would be the BH, and Sa would be your day off.
They could class the Sa as A/L but then would need to give you a BH credit.

if he swapped it would just be his day off not A/L.. OP states hes been charged a day of A/L therefore it wasnt "officially" swapped, so he is therefore owed a BH credit for not being given a day off that week.
