2006 New York Code - Transfer Of Officers And Employees.

 
    §  1230-l.  Transfer  of officers and employees. 1. In accordance with
  the provisions of section seventy of the civil service law, any  officer
  or  employee of the city that currently works in the system, may, at the
  request of the water board and with the consent of such city and  board,
  be  transferred  to  the  water  board  and  shall  be eligible for such
  transfer and appointment, without  further  examination,  to  applicable
  offices,  positions  and  employment  under  the  water  board. Any such
  officers or employees so transferred to the water board 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 water board, 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 water board.
    2.  A  transferred  employee  shall  remain  in  the  same  collective
  bargaining  unit as was the case prior to his or her transfer; successor
  employees to the positions held by  such  transferred  employees  shall,
  consistent  with the provisions of article fourteen of the civil service
  law, be included in the  same  unit  as  their  predecessors.  Employees
  serving  in  positions  in newly created titles shall be assigned to the
  same collective bargaining unit as they would have been assigned to such
  unit were such titles created prior to the establishment  of  the  water
  board.    Nothing  contained  in  this  title  shall be construed (a) to
  diminish the rights of employees pursuant  to  a  collective  bargaining
  agreement  or  (b) to affect existing law with respect to an application
  to the public employment relations board seeking a  designation  by  the
  board that certain persons are managerial or confidential.
