Is private settlement with employer possible or not ?
With $300K involved - highly unlikely. Even if the money is returned, it won't negate any criminal offence. A court may or may not take it into account when sentencing.

What is the Maximum Sentencing if pleaded guilty ?
Depends on the charge. Fraud would be possibility here.
In WA, fraud has a maximum penalty of 7 years imprisonment or 10 years if the victim is 60+ years of age.
