UK HR Two-Minute Monthly: August 2026

Once-in-a-generation overhauls of the Acas Code of Practice and UK equal pay law. The ever-increasing overlap of AI and workplace issues. A landmark Supreme Court decision on the rights of part-time workers. August has been anything but quiet. In this edition of BCLP’s HR Two-Minute Monthly, we bring you a concise, practical guide to the most important UK cases, developments and legislative changes, plus handy links to all updates the BCLP team has published this month, to help you stay ahead of the curve.

The New ACAS Code: Opportunities for Employers in the age of AI-Generated Grievances

The Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service (“ACAS”) has recently commenced consultation on an updated draft Code of Practice on disciplinary and grievance procedures (“Code”). This is the first substantive overhaul of the Code for more than a decade, drawing much attention from employers, workers and their representatives. It is understandable that the commentaries to date have focussed on challenges that the changes may bring for employers, particularly as they ready themselves for the seismic changes to unfair dismissal law coming their way on 1 January 2027 (as explored in our previous update). But the Code can also work in an employer’s favour when defending unfair dismissal claims. We believe that ACAS’ proposed changes could generate some new opportunities here, including on the vexed issue of AI-assisted grievances.
