N.Y. Public Authorities Law § 1500-g: Contract for employees

§ 1500-g. Contract for employees. The authority is hereby authorized

to enter into contracts under which such contractor would provide

employees to the authority for the purpose of operation and maintenance

of the projects of the authority. All employees currently employed by

the city or by a contractor to support operations currently managed by

the city shall be retained by any contractor retained pursuant to this

section. 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. Such employees shall receive their total compensation and any

employee benefits directly from the contractor for whom they are

employed provided any relevant local regulation, rule or ordinance

related to wage shall apply. Except for roles considered to be

management or confidential pursuant to article fourteen of the civil

service law, including the board of the authority, established by

section fifteen hundred-c of this title, the authority shall have no

employees other than the employees of the contractor pursuant to any

contract authorized by this section.
