Fike v. Gold Kist, Inc.

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• noting that indicia of interrelatedness include combined accounting records, bank accounts, lines of credit, payroll preparation, employee interchange, and control over the hiring and firing of each other’s employees
• noting that “[c]ases treating two separate corporate entities as a single employer have placed heavy emphasis on the existence of common directors and officers,” but finding no common management there because there were separate boards of directors and separate corporate officers
• finding common ownership and management between two entities that were in the same building, shared bookkeeping staff, occasionally interchanged employees, and had common incorporators, officers, directors, and stockholders
• neither factor supported single enterprise theory where entities had separate directors and officers and there was no evidence of common ownership or actual financial control by one entity over the other
• stating test as actual control rather than potential control
