Title 16 - Suffolk County Judicial Facilities Agency
2350-X - Transfer of Officers and Employees; Civil Service.

§ 2350-x. Transfer of officers and employees; civil service. 1. The
appointment and promotion of all non-exempt
on-management confidential
employees of the agency shall be made in accordance with the civil
service law and the rules of the Suffolk county civil service
commission.

2. In accordance with the provisions of section seventy of the civil
service law, any officer or employee of a municipality in the service
area, may, at the request of the agency, be transferred to the agency
and shall be eligible for such transfer and appointment, without further
examination, to applicable offices, positions and employment under 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 systems to
be paid by the employer on account of such officers or employees shall
be paid by the agency.

3. A transferred employee shall remain in the same collective
bargaining unit as was the case prior to his or her transfer; successor
employees to the positions held by such transferred employees shall,
consistent with the provisions of article fourteen of the civil service
law, be included in the same unit as their predecessors. Employees
serving in positions in newly created titles shall be assigned to the
same collective bargaining unit as they would have been assigned to such
unit were such titles created prior to the establishment of the agency.
Nothing contained in this title shall be construed; (a) to diminish the
rights of employees pursuant to a collective bargaining agreement, or
(b) to affect existing law with respect to an application to the public
employment relations board seeking a designation by the board that
certain persons are managerial or confidential.
