N.Y. Public Authorities Law § 2053-i: Transfer of officers and employees

§ 2053-i. Transfer of officers and employees. Any officer or employee

of the county under civil service or otherwise, selected by the

authority, may, with the consent of the county executive, 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 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 personnel officer of the

county shall have the same status with respect thereto after transfer to

the authority as they had under their original appointment.
