|  | BGB 617. 1 If , in a permanent service relationship that completely or mainly takes up the economic activity of the person obliged to perform services , the person obliged is integrated into the joint household , then the person entitled to services must , in the event of illness , grant him the necessary food and medical treatment up to a duration of six weeks , but not beyond termination of his service relationship , unless the illness was caused by the person obliged by intent or gross negligence . The provision of food and medical treatment may be granted by the admission of the person obliged to a hospital . The costs may be credited against the remuneration owed for the period of illness . If the service relationship is terminated by the person entitled to services under section 626 on the grounds of illness , then termination of the employment caused by this is not taken into account . |
