2006 New York Code - Transfer Of Employees.

 
    § 262. Transfer  of  employees.  Upon the transfer of functions to the
  department of transportation pursuant to this chapter,  provision  shall
  be  made  for  the  transfer to the department of transportation of such
  employees of the department of public works who are engaged in  carrying
  out  such  functions  as  the  commissioner  of  transportation may deem
  necessary for the  exercise  of  the  functions  of  the  transportation
  department.    Employees  so  transferred  shall  be transferred without
  further examination or qualification and shall retain  their  respective
  civil service classifications and status. For the purpose of determining
  the   employees  holding  permanent  appointment  in  competitive  class
  positions to be transferred, such employees  shall  be  selected  within
  each class of positions in the order of their original appointment, with
  due  regard  to  the  right  of  preference in retention of disabled and
  nondisabled veterans. Any  such  employee  who,  at  the  time  of  such
  transfer,   has   a   temporary  or  provisional  appointment  shall  be
  transferred subject  to  the  same  right  of  removal,  examination  or
  termination as though such transfer had not been made. Employees holding
  permanent  appointments  in  competitive  class  positions  who  are not
  transferred pursuant to this section shall have their names entered upon
  an appropriate preferred list for reinstatement pursuant  to  the  civil
  service law.
