In a compelling legal battle, a former employee has taken significant action against her previous employer, alleging discriminatory practices and retaliation. Stacey Batchker filed a complaint on November 6, 2025, in the Circuit Court of the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit in Palm Beach County, Florida, against Conduent Commercial Solutions, LLC. The case raises serious allegations regarding disability discrimination and violation of employment rights.
The plaintiff, Stacey Batchker, claims that during her tenure with Conduent Commercial Solutions from February 9, 2021, to August 5, 2024, she faced unlawful discrimination due to her disabilities. Despite being an exemplary employee who received accolades for her performance and held multiple certifications more than most peers, Batchker alleges that her employer failed to provide reasonable accommodations for her known disabilities. Her medical conditions included neuromuscular issues and repetitive motion disorders requiring specific ergonomic equipment which was promised but never delivered by the company.
Batchker’s complaint details a troubling sequence of events leading up to her termination. She had been on Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) leave due to serious health conditions from August 2023 and was set to return on August 1, 2024. Despite approved accommodations for a modified work schedule upon her return, she found herself locked out of work systems on the very day she was supposed to resume duties. Subsequently informed there was “no place for her” at the company anymore suggests a discriminatory intent linked directly to her disabilities and FMLA leave.
The lawsuit asserts violations under both the Florida Civil Rights Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), accusing Conduent Commercial Solutions of not only failing to accommodate but also retaliating against Batchker for exercising her FMLA rights. The plaintiff contends that repeated requests during her leave to return early underscore the company’s disregard for legal protections afforded under FMLA.
Batchker seeks several forms of relief from the court including back pay, front pay or reinstatement with additional front pay as an alternative, punitive damages for emotional distress caused by this ordeal, as well as compensation covering attorney fees and costs associated with ADA, FCRA (Florida Civil Rights Act), and FMLA claims. This case highlights critical issues surrounding workplace rights and employer responsibilities towards employees with disabilities.
Representing Stacey Batchker is G. Ware Cornell Jr., from Cornell & Associates P.A., while details about Conduent’s legal representation remain undisclosed at this stage. The case is presided over by judges within Palm Beach County’s judicial circuit under Case ID: 502025CA011583XXXAMB Div: Al.
