# Keyword Decision: Urlaubsentgelt

**Last Updated:** 2026-02-12

## Primary Keyword

**Urlaubsentgelt** – German primary keyword; no direct English equivalent.

## Rationale

- Term is specific to German employment law (§ 11 BUrlG – Bundesurlaubsgesetz).
- "Vacation pay" or "holiday pay" in English do not map 1:1 to the German legal concept (13-week average, Werktage, etc.).
- Search intent is German-language; target audience is German HR and employers.
- Lexikon inventory: Priority 4 content gap; 2 competitor sources (rexx, papershift).

## SEO Implications

- Meta title, H1, and content in German only.
- No English alternate or hreflang needed for this term.
- Primary keyword used in definition paragraph within first 20% of content.
