§ 1199-g. Transfer of officers and employees. Any public officer or
employee in the public service who is selected by the authority may,
with the consent of the commission, board, or chief executive officer of
the municipality by which he or she has been employed, be transferred to
the authority and shall be eligible for such transfer and appointment
without examination to comparable offices, positions and employment
under the authority. The salary or compensation of any such officer or
employee, after such transfer, shall be paid by the authority. Any such
officers or employees so transferred to the authority 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, 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. All such officers or employees so transferred to the
authority who have been appointed to positions under the rules and
classifications of the civil service commission shall have the same
status with respect thereto after transfer to the authority as they had
under their original appointment.
