N.Y. Public Authorities Law § 1115-m: Transfer of officers and employees

§ 1115-m. Transfer of officers and employees. Any officer or employee

of the city under civil service who is selected by the authority or the

water board may, with the consent of the mayor, be transferred to the

authority or the water board, as the case may be, and shall be eligible

for such transfer and appointment without examination to comparable

offices, positions and employment under the authority or the water

board, as the case may be. The salary or compensation of any such

officer or employee, after such transfer, shall be paid by the authority

or the water board, as the case may be. Any such officers or employees

so transferred to the authority or the water board, as the case may be,

pursuant to this section, who are members of or benefit under any

existing pension or retirement fund or system, shall continue to have

all rights, privileges, obligations and status with respect to such fund

or system as are now prescribed by law, but during the period of their

employment by the authority or the water board, as the case may be, all

contributions to such funds or systems to be paid by the employer on

account of such officers or employees shall be paid by the authority or

the water board, as the case may be. All such officers or employees so

transferred to the authority or the water board, as the case may be, who

have been appointed to positions under the rules and classifications of

the personnel officer of the city shall have the same status with

respect thereto after transfer to the authority or the water board, as

the case may be, as they had under their original appointment.
