Section 1128. Transfer of officers and employees

Any public officer or
  employee in the public service who is selected  by  the  authority  may,
  with the consent of the commission, board, or chief executive officer of
  the municipality 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, after such transfer, shall be paid by the authority. Any  such
  officers  or  employees so transferred to the authority 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 authority, all contributions to such fund or system to be paid by
  the employer on account of such officers and employees shall be paid  by
  the  authority.  All  such  officers  or employees so transferred to the
  authority who have been appointed  to  positions  under  the  rules  and
  classifications  of  the  civil  service  commission shall have the same
  status with respect thereto after transfer to the authority as they  had
  under their original appointment.
