Seems sketchy and maybe illegal?

Work FT at a SNF night shift. When hired, was told they don't give offer lettera to hourly employees. Just give pay metrics and when off prob, you get benefits.

(Nvr had that before 14 yr nurse). Is that the case sometimes? Am in Fl.

Thank you. I went to site(copied link).. but saw nothing about offer letter being "required".

This is what I see as a theme:

While an offer letter in Florida is usually sent to all prospective hires right after a verbal job offer, an employment agreement is typically only given to executives, key employees, or employees who are being contracted to work for a minimum guaranteed length of time.

I have always rec'd an offer letter and it seemed odd. 
if you read my 2nd topic..” is this acceptable", I am thinking things are a little loose at this job and am a bit ambivalent.

Thanks for all reponses.
