employees.

In the event that a public agency or agencies determine to transfer any of its
employees to the joint or cooperative action, which employees are subject to
any civil service laws or regulations, such employees shall not lose any rights
or benefits which have accrued prior to such transfer. Such employees, when
transferred, to the joint or cooperative action from a public agency or agencies
that are subject to any civil service laws or regulations, and who have
completed probationary appointments with the public agency or agencies prior
to the date of transfer, shall be considered as having satisfied all of the
qualifications of the joint or cooperative action and shall be given full and
regular appointments as defined in such laws or regulations as of the date they
are transferred to the joint or cooperative action.
In the event that the joint or cooperative action is such that its employees
would be afforded civil service rights or benefits if they were employees of a
county or city, such employees shall be afforded the protection of civil service
laws or regulations; provided, however, that such protection is available under
the laws of this state.
In the event the joint or cooperative action employs a person employed
immediately prior thereto by a component city or county, or by a special district,
such employee shall be deemed to remain an employee of such city, county or
special district for the purposes of any pension plan of such city, county, or
special district, and shall continue to be entitled to all rights and benefits
thereunder as if he had remained as an employee of the city, county, or special
district, until the joint or cooperative action has provided a pension plan to
which such employee is eligible and such employee has elected, in writing, to
participate therein. Until such election, the joint or cooperative action shall
deduct from the remuneration of such employee the amount which such
employee is or may be required to pay in accordance with the provisions of the
plan of such city, county, or special district and the joint or cooperative action
shall pay to the city, county, or special district any amounts required to be paid
under the provisions of such plan by employer and employee, unless an
agreement, not adversely affecting the employee's interest, or expectancy, has
been made pursuant to KRS 65.250 (1)(d) for the payment of the employer's
pension obligation.
