| Summary / Abstract (Note) | In this article the focus is on law that governs the transfer of academic employees in Swaziland. A literature study of relevant law sources brought a lack of higher education law that regulates the transfer of academic employees during a merger to light. It is this problem that the authors aimed to address in this article. The authors, in an attempt to provide a legal framework for the transfer of academic employees, considered general labour law and case law. The transfer of academics during the merger of three colleges into a private university in 2010 was studied as a practical example. The contribution of this article is that it provides information to higher education institutions in Swaziland who are contemplating merging, the legislature and policymakers who have to adopt law and policy exclusively regulating the transfer of employees in the higher education sphere and academic employees who may become transferees during future mergers. |
