§ 2041-f. Transfer of officers and employees. Any officer or employee
of a participating county or of any municipality located within a
participating county under civil service who is selected by the
authority may, with the consent of the legislative body of the employing
county or municipality, be transferred to the authority and shall be
eligible for such transfer and appointment, without examination, to
applicable 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 this period of their employment by the authority, all
contributions to such fund or system heretofore made by the employing
county or municipality, shall be made 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
personnel officer of the county or any employing municipality shall have
the same status with respect thereto after transfer to the authority as
they had under their original appointment.
