176.071 JOINT EMPLOYERS; CONTRIBUTION.
When compensation is payable under this chapter for the injury or death of an employee
employed and paid jointly by two or more employers at the time of the injury or death these
employers shall contribute to the payment of the compensation in the proportion of their
wage liabilities to the employee. If any such employer is excluded from the provisions of this
chapter and is not liable for compensation, the liability of those employers who are liable for
compensation is the proportion of the entire compensation which their wage liability bears to
the employee's entire wages. As between themselves such employers may arrange for a different
distribution of payment of the compensation for which they are liable.
