§ 1115-m. Transfer of officers and employees. Any officer or employee
of the city under civil service who is selected by the authority or the
water board may, with the consent of the mayor, be transferred to the
authority or the water board, as the case may be, and shall be eligible
for such transfer and appointment without examination to comparable
offices, positions and employment under the authority or the water
board, as the case may be. The salary or compensation of any such
officer or employee, after such transfer, shall be paid by the authority
or the water board, as the case may be. Any such officers or employees
so transferred to the authority or the water board, as the case may be,
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 authority or the water board, as the case may be, 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 authority or
the water board, as the case may be. All such officers or employees so
transferred to the authority or the water board, as the case may be, who
have been appointed to positions under the rules and classifications of
the personnel officer of the city shall have the same status with
respect thereto after transfer to the authority or the water board, as
the case may be, as they had under their original appointment.
