Orach Chaim 245 Laws of Sabbath
164

that all of this is only applicable to a partnership in which each one works on his day [Beit Yosef], but when both are working together all the weekdays, and on Shabbat the heathen works alone, it is permissible to split with him all the profit because the heathen is working for his own benefit and the Jew is not benefiting from his work on Shabbat since the work isn't obligated for him to do. And nevertheless, he shouldn't take the profit of Shabbat unless they are swallowed up with the other days [Rabbi Nissim, first chapter of Shabbat; end of Chapter "All Writings"; and first chapter of Avodat Elilim].

2 Where they stipulated in the beginning: if afterwards, during the time of splitting, the heathen was willing to split equally, it is permissible.

3 Where they didn't stipulate in the beginning, there is a fix by the seller returning to them the money of the land or they sell it to a different person and they return and they buy it as a partnership and they stipulate at the time of the buying. And if they were partners in a shop and did not stipulate, everybody should return and take their share and they should nullify the partnership. And afterwards they should return to partner and they should stipulate at the beginning. And if he received the land to do work in it as a partnership, they should nullify the partnership and forgive each other. And afterwards they should return to form a partnership and should stipulate at the beginning. Gloss: And if he will want to rent to a heathen his share on Shabbat or to rent in a way where they share the profit, it is permissible, and like it is clarified above, end of siman 244, regarding tax and coins, that it's permissible, and all the more so here, that it's permissible in a partnership with a heathen.
