N.Y. Public Authorities Law § 2052-g: Transfer of officers and employees

§ 2052-g. Transfer of officers and employees. Any public officer or

employee under civil service who is selected by the authority may, with

the consent of the commission, board or chief executive officer of the

municipality by which he or she has been employed, be transferred to the

authority and shall be eligible for such transfer and appointment

without examination to comparable 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 systems to be paid

by the employer on account of such officers or employees 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 civil service commission shall have the same

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

under their original appointment.
