N.Y. Public Authorities Law § 1128: Transfer of officers and employees

* § 1128. Transfer of officers and employees. Any public officer or

employee in the public service who is selected by the authority may,

with the consent of the commission, board, or chief executive officer of

the municipality by which he or she has been employed, be transferred to

the authority and shall be eligible for such transfer and appointment

without examination to comparable offices, positions and employment

under the authority. The salary or compensation of any such officer or

employee, after such transfer, shall be paid by the authority. Any such

officers or employees so transferred to the authority 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, all contributions to such fund or system to be paid by

the employer on account of such officers and employees shall be paid by

the authority. All such officers or employees so transferred to the

authority who have been appointed to positions under the rules and

classifications of the civil service commission shall have the same

status with respect thereto after transfer to the authority as they had

under their original appointment.
