I've been trying to resolve this on my own but I'm stuck.

severance offer seems low. I've been dealing with this for about 6 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 4 years. My position is exempt and I do not have a written employment agreement beyond the standard offer letter.

What's the typical outcome in situations like this?

I specialize in this area of law. Here's my take on the legal issues.

Based on what you've described, you likely have a viable claim under the FLSA and state wage laws. The standard is whether a reasonable person would find the conduct compensable.

Before taking legal action, consider sending a formal demand letter. In many cases, this alone resolves the issue.
