Section 1101. 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 employee, 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  civil
  service  commission  of  the county of Monroe 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 civil service commission of the
  county of Monroe may adopt and make applicable to such authority.
