§ 27-3-504 — Separate employer's accounts; charging of accounts; when accounts not charged

(a) Separate accounts shall be maintained for each
employer and benefits paid to an individual shall be charged to
the account of his base period employer.
(b) If an individual is employed by two (2) or more
employers during his base period, the base period employer's

total benefits paid to the individual as the amount of wages
payable by the employer bears to total wages payable by all
employers during the individual's base period.
(c) Benefits paid to an individual by this state pursuant
to a wage-combining arrangement under W.S. 27-3-608(b) and
attributable in part to wages and employment covered by this act
shall be charged in accordance with this section to the account
of that individual's base period employer. If, however, the
benefits are paid by another state, the amount chargeable to
employers in this state for whom the individual was previously
employed, shall be the amount reimbursed by this state to the
paying state. The amount chargeable to employers in this state
shall be an amount bearing the same ratio of total wages payable
by all employers in this state during the individual's base

leaves work without good cause attributable to employment or was
discharged from employment for misconduct in connection with
this work, provided however, that chargeability of an employer's
account for benefits paid to a claimant in a particular benefit
year shall be based solely on the last separation that occurred
before the filing of the claimant's claim for which the claimant
is monetarily eligible and shall not be affected by a separation
that occurs after the filing of the initial claim and during the
benefit year;
(iii) Repealed by Laws 1984, ch. 50, § 3.
(iv) The base period employer provided part-time
employment and during the individual's current benefit year
provides the same number of hours and wages provided during the
