N.Y. Education Law § 689: Transfer of officers and employees

§ 689. Transfer of officers and employees. 1. Officers and employees

of state departments and agencies may be transferred to the corporation

and officers and employees of the corporation may be transferred to

state departments and agencies without examination and without loss of

any civil service status or rights. No such transfer may, however, be

made except with the approval of the head of the state department or

division involved and the director of the budget and the president of

the corporation and in compliance with the rules and regulations of the

state civil service commission.

2. Promotions from positions in state departments and agencies to

positions in the corporation, and vice versa, may be made from

interdepartmental promotion lists resulting from promotion examinations

in which both employees of the corporation and employees of the state

are eligible to participate.

3. In computing seniority for purposes of promotion or for purposes of

suspension or demotion upon the abolition of positions in the service of

the corporation or in the service of the state, in the case of an

employee of the corporation a period of prior employment in the service

of the state shall be counted in the same manner as though such period

of employment had been in the service of the corporation, and in the

case of an employee of the state a period of prior employment in the

service of the corporation shall be counted in the same manner as though

such period of employment had been in the service of the state. For the

purposes of the establishment and certification of preferred lists,

employees suspended from the corporation shall be eligible for

reinstatement in the service of the state, and employees suspended from

the service of the state shall be eligible for reinstatement in the

service of the corporation, in the same manner as though the corporation

were a department of the state.
