Title 8-A - New York State Local Water and Sewer Authority Act
1196-E - Transfer of Officers and Employees.

§ 1196-e. Transfer of officers and employees. Any public officer or
employee under civil service, selected by an authority may, with the
consent of the commission, board or department 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 shall after such transfer be paid by the
authority. But notwithstanding the provisions of this title, any such
officers or employees so transferred to the authority, pursuant to the
provisions of this section, who are members of or beneficiaries under
any existing pension or retirement system, shall continue to have all
rights, privileges, obligations and status with respect to such fund
system or systems as are now prescribed by law, but during the period of
their employment by the authority, all contributions to any pension or
retirement fund or system to be paid by the employer on account of such
officers or employees, shall be paid by the authority; and all such
officers and employees who have been appointed to positions under the
rules and classifications of the applicable civil service commission
shall have the same status with respect thereto after transfer to the
authority as they had under their original appointments. The appointment
and promotion of all employees of an authority shall be made in
accordance with the provisions of the civil service law and such rules
as the applicable civil service commission may adopt and make applicable
to such authority.
