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.
