§ 1149-f. Transfer of officers and employees. Any officer or employee

under civil service who is selected by the authority and may 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, as

determined by the authority, shall after such transfer be paid by the

authority.

Any such officers or employees so transferred to the authority

pursuant to this section, who are members of or beneficiaries 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 funds or systems

to be paid by the employer on account of such officers or employees

shall be paid by the authority.

All such officers and 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

appointments. The appointment and promotion of all employees of the

authority shall be made in accordance with the provisions of the civil

service law and such rules as the civil service commission may adopt and

make applicable to the authority.
