N.Y. Public Authorities Law § 2050-g: Transfer of officers and employees

§ 2050-g. Transfer of officers and employees. Any officer or employee

of the county or a municipality under civil service, selected by the

agency may, with the consent of the chairman of the county legislature,

be transferred to the agency and shall be eligible for such transfer and

appointment, without examination, to applicable offices, positions and

employment under the agency. The salary or compensation of any officer

or employee, after such transfer, shall be paid by the agency. Any such

officers or employees so transferred to the agency 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 agency, all contributions to such funds or system to be paid by

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

the agency. All such officers or employees so transferred to the agency

who have been appointed to positions under the rules and classifications

of the personnel officer of the county shall have the same status with

respect thereto after transfer to the agency as they had under their

original appointment.
