Zenith Build, Inc. (P) is the parent of TechnoStaff, Inc. (S), a staffing firm engaged to hire and pay workers for a major construction project. S signs wage contracts with the workers and pays their salaries, but P directly prescribes S’s payroll budgets, hiring criteria, and project policies, and furnishes the majority of S’s operating funds. S has only modest assets and relies on P for cash advances. The workers claim unpaid wages against both S and P. Which doctrine would best justify piercing the corporate veil to bind P for S's wage obligations?
