DEFINITIONS.

19. (e) "Employing Unit" means any individual or type of
organization, including any partnership, association, trust,
estate, joint stock company, insurance company or corpora-
tion, whether domestic or foreign, or the receiver, trustee in
bankruptcy, trustee or successor thereof, or the legal repre-
sentative of a deceased person, which has or subsequent to
January 1, 1935, had in its employ one or more individuals
performing services for it within this State. All individuals
performing services within this State for any employing unit
which maintains two or more separate establishments within
the State shall be deemed to be employed by a single employ-
ing unit for all the purposes of this Act. Whenever any em-
ploying unit contracts with or has under it any contractor
or sub-contractor for any employment which is part of its
usual trade, occupation, profession, or business, unless the
employing unit as well as each such contractor or sub-con-
tractor is an employer by reason of Section 19 (f) or Section
8 (c) of this Act, the employing unit shall for all the pur-
poses of this Act be deemed to employ each individual in the
employ of each such contractor or sub-contractor for each
day during which such individual is engaged in performing
such employment; except that each such contractor or sub-
contractor who is an employer by reason of Section 19 (f) or
Section 8 (c) of this Act shall alone be liable for the con-
tributions measured by wages to individuals in his em-
ploy, and except that any employing unit who shall become
liable for and pay contributions with respect to individuals in
the employ of any such contractor or sub-contractor who is
not an employer by reason of Section 19 (f) or Section 8 (c)
of this Act, may recover the same from such contractor or
sub-contractor. Each individual employed to perform or to
assist in performing the work of any agent or employee of an
employing unit shall be deemed to be employed by such em-
ploying unit for all the purposes of this Act, whether such
individual was hired or paid directly by such employing unit
or by such agent or employees, provided the employing unit
had actual or constructive knowledge of the employment.
