N.Y. Public Authorities Law § 2628: Temporary assignment and transfer of employees

§ 2628. Temporary assignment and transfer of employees. Whenever in

the opinion of the authority it would be in the public interest, it may,

after prior approval of the director of the budget, request the

temporary assignment and transfer of certain employees of any board,

commission, agency or department of the state or its political

subdivisions, and said board, commission, agency or department shall, if

in its opinion such transfer will not interfere with the performance of

its duties and functions, make such assignment and transfer of said

employees to the authority for a period of up to one year, with one

extension of one year permitted if the authority so requests and said

board, commission, agency or department which permanently employs such

person consents. Such assignment and transfer or extension thereof shall

not in any way affect the civil service status, continuity of service,

retirement plan status, rights to compensation, grade or compensation or

other rights or privileges of any employee so transferred. Any employee

transferred under the authority of this section shall be paid as total

reimbursement for expenses in the course of their duties incurred only

the actual and necessary expenses incurred up to the maximum rates as

established by the New York state department of audit and control.
