New York Laws
Part 4 - Miscellaneous Provisions
689 - Transfer of Officers and Employees.

ยง 689. Transfer of officers and employees. 1. Officers and employees
of state departments and agencies may be transferred to the corporation
and officers and employees of the corporation may be transferred to
state departments and agencies without examination and without loss of
any civil service status or rights. No such transfer may, however, be
made except with the approval of the head of the state department or
division involved and the director of the budget and the president of
the corporation and in compliance with the rules and regulations of the
state civil service commission.

2. Promotions from positions in state departments and agencies to
positions in the corporation, and vice versa, may be made from
interdepartmental promotion lists resulting from promotion examinations
in which both employees of the corporation and employees of the state
are eligible to participate.

3. In computing seniority for purposes of promotion or for purposes of
suspension or demotion upon the abolition of positions in the service of
the corporation or in the service of the state, in the case of an
employee of the corporation a period of prior employment in the service
of the state shall be counted in the same manner as though such period
of employment had been in the service of the corporation, and in the
case of an employee of the state a period of prior employment in the
service of the corporation shall be counted in the same manner as though
such period of employment had been in the service of the state. For the
purposes of the establishment and certification of preferred lists,
employees suspended from the corporation shall be eligible for
reinstatement in the service of the state, and employees suspended from
the service of the state shall be eligible for reinstatement in the
service of the corporation, in the same manner as though the corporation
were a department of the state.
