326. The Commission shall impute to the employer the cost of benefits payable by reason of an industrial accident and post it to the account of the establishment in which the worker held his employment at the time of the accident.
It may also, on its own initiative or on the application of an employer, impute the cost of benefits payable by reason of an industrial accident to the employers of one, several or all units if the imputation under the first paragraph would have the effect of causing an employer to support unduly the cost of benefits due by reason of an industrial accident imputable to a third person or unduly burdening an employer.
Any application under the second paragraph must be filed in writing by the employer within the year following the date of the accident, and state the reasons for the application.
