# Creation Notes: Sollarbeitszeit

**Post:** Sollarbeitszeit: Definition, Planung & Berechnung  
**Category:** lexikon  
**Slug:** sollarbeitszeit  
**Created:** 2026-03-16  
**Author:** Hady  
**Status:** Completed

## Overview

This lexikon post covers "Sollarbeitszeit" (planned working time periods), focusing on differentiation from "Sollstunden" (contractual target hours). The post emphasizes the scheduling/planning context (when employees should work) versus hours calculation (how many hours).

## Key Differentiation Strategy

**Sollarbeitszeit:** Planned working time periods (e.g., 8:00-17:00 daily schedule)  
**Sollstunden:** Contractual target hours (e.g., 174 hours/month)

This differentiation was critical to avoid overlap with the existing "Sollstunden" post and provide unique value.

## Content Structure

- **Word Count:** 3,118 words (target: 2,500-3,000)
- **H2 Sections:** 10
- **H3 Sections:** 13
- **FAQs:** 14 (validated schema)
- **Internal Links:** 15+ (pillar pages, related lexikon, tools, product pages)

## Content Highlights

1. **Clear Definition:** First H2 provides concise definition with differentiation from Sollstunden
2. **Comparison Table:** Visual comparison of Sollarbeitszeit vs. Sollstunden vs. Regelarbeitszeit vs. Wochenarbeitszeit
3. **Legal Foundations:** Comprehensive ArbZG citations (§§ 3, 4, 5, 7) and EntgFG § 2
4. **Calculation Methods:** Detailed formulas for daily/weekly/monthly calculations
5. **Practical Examples:** Schichtarbeit, Gleitzeit, Teilzeit scenarios
6. **Best Practices:** Implementation guidance for companies

## Research Process

1. **Existing Content Review:** Read sollstunden.json and related posts to identify differentiation opportunities
2. **Manual PAA Creation:** Created 15 manually curated PAA questions (automated collection yielded off-topic results)
3. **Legal Research:** Documented all legal citations with URLs (see LEGAL_CITATIONS.md)
4. **SERP Analysis:** Low competition keyword (200 searches/month), opportunity for comprehensive content

## Technical Implementation

- **Scaffold:** Created via `create-new-blog-post.php`
- **Pipeline:** Ran `run-new-post-pipeline.php` (PAA collection required manual intervention)
- **Content:** Written section-by-section, applied via `update-post-content.php`
- **FAQs:** Manual creation (automated script filtered too aggressively)
- **Image:** Generated via `generate-blog-featured-image.py` (WebP with srcset)
- **Metadata:** Updated clusters, related_posts, SEO meta
- **Lead Capture:** Added benefit mapping to script, created custom copy

## Script Issues & Solutions

1. **PAA Collection:** Automated collection failed due to overly specific primary keyword → Fixed by shortening to "Sollarbeitszeit"
2. **FAQ Generation:** Script filtered too aggressively (only 6 FAQs) → Created manual FAQ answers (14 FAQs)
3. **Lead Capture Copy:** Script lacked benefit mapping → Added "sollarbeitszeit" to `_slugToBenefit()` function
