1059 - Transfer of officers and employees.

 
    §  1059.  Transfer  of  officers  and employees. Any public officer or
  employee under civil service, selected by the authority  may,  with  the
  consent  of  the  commission, board or department by which he or she has
  been employed, be transferred to the authority and shall be eligible for
  such transfer and appointment without examination to comparable offices,
  positions and employment under the authority. The salary or compensation
  of any such officer or employee shall after such transfer be paid by the
  authority. But notwithstanding the provisions  of  this  act,  any  such
  officers  or  employees so transferred to the authority, pursuant to the
  provisions of this section, who are members of  or  beneficiaries  under
  any  existing  pension  or retirement system, shall continue to have all
  rights, privileges, obligations and status with respect  to  such  fund,
  system or systems as are now prescribed by law, but during the period of
  their  employment  by the authority, all contributions to any pension or
  retirement fund or system to be paid by the employer on account of  such
  officers  or  employees,  shall  be  paid by the authority; and all such
  officers and employees who have been appointed to  positions  under  the
  rules and classifications of the personnel officer of the county of Erie
  shall  have  the  same status with respect thereto after transfer to the
  authority as they had under their original appointments.  It  is  hereby
  declared  that  in  the  interest  of  efficiency  and insofar as may be
  practicable, all employees engaged in the operation of any  property  or
  properties,  except  in an executive capacity, at the time such property
  or properties shall have been acquired by the authority, pursuant to the
  provisions of this act, shall become the employees of the authority. The
  appointment and promotion of all employees of  the  authority  shall  be
  made  in  accordance  with  the  provisions  of  the  civil  service law
  (constituting chapter seven of the consolidated laws) and such rules  as
  the  personnel  officer  of  the  county  of  Erie  may  adopt  and make
  applicable to such authority.
