The statement
Every listing in the register carries this pledge, signed by a named person who says they can speak for the business. It is short on purpose, and every line of it is a claim the signer can be held to.
Version 2.0, effective 11 September 2026
LEGAL LABOR PLEDGE
We hire only workers legally authorized to work in the United States.
We complete Form I-9 for every employee. We use E-Verify on new hires. We do not knowingly employ unauthorized workers. We require the same of labor contractors and subcontractors we use.
If we cannot staff the work with lawful labor, we will not staff it with unlawful labor.
I am authorized to make this pledge on behalf of the business identified in this listing.
We make this pledge to promote the business to the public, and we intend for customers and others reading this listing to rely on it when they decide whether to do business here.
I understand that if this pledge were false and I knew it to be false, it would be a false statement of fact made in commercial advertising, and could expose the business and me to claims under federal and state false-advertising and consumer-protection law, brought by customers, by competitors, or by a state attorney general.
I understand that this pledge is published publicly alongside my name, my title, the date I signed it, and any license or E-Verify identifier I provide.
This pledge is true as of the date signed. If it stops being true, I will withdraw the listing promptly.
By typing my full name below I adopt it as my electronic signature, with the same effect as signing this pledge by hand.

Why there is a fingerprint
A published signature is only worth something if the words above it cannot quietly change. Each listing stores the version it was signed under and a SHA-256 hash of that exact text. If the wording is ever revised, old listings keep their own version and the hash on the listing page still matches what that person read. You can check it yourself: hash the canonical text below and compare.

It is not a background check, an audit, or a government record. LegalOnly does not see payroll, I-9 forms, or anyone’s immigration status, and it makes no finding about any individual worker. It publishes what a business signed. If you believe a listing is false, tell us and we will look at it.
