     572.15 Award. 

    (a) The award shall be in writing and signed by the 
 arbitrators joining in the award.  The award must include 
 interest, except this does not apply to arbitrations between 
 employers and employees under chapter 179 or 179A.  An 
 arbitrator is neither required to nor prohibited from awarding 
 interest under chapter 179 or under section 179A.16 for 
 essential employees.  The arbitrators shall deliver a copy to 
 each party personally or by certified mail, or as provided in 
 the agreement. 

    (b) An award shall be made within the time fixed therefor 
 by the agreement or, if not so fixed, within such time as the 
 court orders on application of a party.  The parties may extend 
 the time in writing either before or after the expiration 
 thereof.  A party waives the objection that an award was not 
 made within the time required unless the party notifies the 
 arbitrators of an objection prior to the delivery of the award 
 to the party.
