Section 1127. Transfer of officers and employees

Any public officer or
  employee under civil 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 funds or systems to be paid
  by the employer on account of such officers or employee 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.
