N.Y. Public Authorities Law § 1475-e: Contract for employees

§ 1475-e. Contract for employees. 1. The authority is hereby

authorized to enter into a contract under which the contractor would

provide employees to the authority for the purpose of operation and

maintenance of the projects of the authority. The authority shall not

begin operation of any project until such a contract shall be in force.

Such contract shall provide that all employees engaged in the operation

and maintenance of any authority project shall be employees of the

contractor and not employees of the authority, and such employees shall

receive their total compensation and employee benefits directly from the

contractor. Except for titles that would be determined to be management

or confidential pursuant to title fourteen of the civil service law, the

authority shall have no employees other than the employees of the

contractor pursuant to the contract referred to in this section.

2. Every contract entered into under subdivision one of this section

shall require that the wages to be paid to any employees engaged in the

operation and maintenance of any authority project shall be not less

than wages that are comparable to those paid to employees doing similar

work in the city of Syracuse.
