N.Y. Public Authorities Law § 2041-f: Transfer of officers and employees

§ 2041-f. Transfer of officers and employees. Any officer or employee

of a participating county or of any municipality located within a

participating county under civil service who is selected by the

authority may, with the consent of the legislative body of the employing

county or municipality, be transferred to the authority and shall be

eligible for such transfer and appointment, without examination, to

applicable 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 this period of their employment by the authority, all

contributions to such fund or system heretofore made by the employing

county or municipality, shall be made 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

personnel officer of the county or any employing municipality shall have

the same status with respect thereto after transfer to the authority as

they had under their original appointment.
