N.Y. Public Authorities Law § 2049-f: Transfer of officers and employees

§ 2049-f. Transfer of officers and employees. Any officer or employee

of the town under civil service who is selected by the authority may,

with the consent of the town supervisor, 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 the period of their employment by the

authority, all contributions to such funds or system 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 personnel officer of the town shall have the same

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

under their original appointment.
