     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.
