Working fulltime without benefits and not being paid for working breaks. what are my options?
Generally, workers are legally entitled to a paid 10 minute break for each 4 hours worked. Workers who work more than 5 hours in a shift must be allowed a 30 minute meal period. In certain circumstances, employers are required to pay workers during their meal break.

Based on the facts you present, the offer appears insufficient. Also, based on that limited information, there is no way to tell how much you could get at this point. However, it could be substantially more. Feel free to contact me for a free initial consultation. I have worked on both sides of these cases, so I know insurance tactics quite well. Best of luck with whatever course you choose.

I worked for a employer that did not pay overtime or prevailing wage for hundred of hours for multiple employees what should ido

Certain wage and hour violations can proceed as class action cases in Washington. That may be worth pursuing depending on the number of employees who did not receive overtime payments.

Insurance companies don't simply roll over and accept the initial demand, particularly with unrepresented parties. It is generally a well known fact, which the insurance industry concedes, that the value of settlements increases when the plaintiff retains an attorney. Contingency fees are negotiable.
