If the person entitled to services is in default in accepting the services, then the party owing the services may demand the agreed remuneration for the services not rendered as the result of the default without being obliged to provide cure. However, the obligor must allow to be credited against them the value of what they save due to their being released from performance or what they acquire or wilfully fail to acquire from other use of their labour. Sentences 1 and 2 apply accordingly in cases in which the employer bears the risk of loss of working hours.
