German term or phrase: "solange .... als nicht..."
Hi all,

I'm looking for a suitable translation of "solange .... als nicht..." in the context of the following sentence:

"Bei TeilzeitmitarbeiterInnen stellen jene durchschnittlichen Mehrleistungen, die die vereinbarte wöchentliche Normalarbeitszeit im Durchschnitt überschreiten solange Teilzeit-Mehrleistungsstunden dar, als nicht auch für Vollzeitkräfte Überstunden entstehen."

Thank you and here's to a better 2021!

English translation:"as long as"
Explanation:
The formulation "solange... als nicht" introduces the condition under which the hours worked by part-time employees in addition to their normal working hours qualify as overtime hours. This can be translates with "as long as", or "if", or any other formulation that has the same function in English.

Of course, the condition introduced by this formulation in German has to be a negative one, so in English, the translation must also be followed by a negation- something is true, as long as something else is not the case.

"In the case of part-time employees, those average additional working hours which exceed the agreed normal weekly working hours shall constitute part-time additional working hours unless overtime does not arise for full-time employees.

The phrase "Bei TeilzeitmitarbeiterInnen stellen jene durchschnittlichen Mehrleistungen, die die vereinbarte wöchentliche Normalarbeitszeit im Durchschnitt überschreiten solange Teilzeit-Mehrleistungsstunden dar, als nicht auch für Vollzeitkräfte Überstunden entstehen" is badly written in German, surely by no native German, and contains redundant terms, e.g. 'als'.

I would say:

"Die Mehrleistungen, welche die vereinbarte durchschnittliche wöchentliche Normalarbeitszeit überschreiten sind bei Teilzeitmitarbeiter*Innen Teilzeit-Überstunden, soweit diese nicht auch für Vollzeitkräfte gelten"
=>
"The additional work which exceeds the agreed average normal weekly working time is part-time overtime in the case of part-time employees, unless (insofar as) this does not also apply to full-time employees".

Explanation:
The following options highlight the dependencies better in the sentence.

"Any average extra hours contributed by part-time employees in excess of the agreed regular weekly working hour average are considered extra part-time hours if no overtime is performed by full-time employees during those hours."

or:

"Any average extra hours contributed by part-time employees in excess of the agreed regular weekly working hour average are considered extra part-time hours to the extent that no overtime is performed by full-time employees during those hours."
