§ 2053-i. Transfer of officers and employees. Any officer or employee
of the county under civil service or otherwise, selected by the
authority, may, with the consent of the county executive, 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 the period of
their employment by the authority, all contributions to such funds or
system 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 personnel officer of the
county shall have the same status with respect thereto after transfer to
the authority as they had under their original appointment.
