* § 890. Temporary assignment or permanent transfer of personnel. The
director, in consultation with the head of the agency concerned and with
the approval of the director of the budget, may provide for the
temporary assignment or transfer of officers and employees of state
agencies to the office on a permanent or temporary basis in a manner
consistent with and authorized by the civil service law as the director
of the office may deem necessary to the performance of the functions and
duties of the office. Employees permanently transferred shall be
transferred without further examination or qualification and shall
retain their respective civil service classification and status. Any
such employee who, at the time of such transfer, has a temporary or
provisional appointment shall be transferred subject to the same right
of removal, examination or termination as though such transfer had not
been made. No existing right or benefit, including retirement benefits
or remedy of any character, shall be lost, impaired or affected by
reason of this article. Transfer of employees pursuant to this article
shall be governed solely and exclusively by the provisions hereof
notwithstanding other provisions of the law.
