§  2629.  Transfer of officers and employees. 1. Upon execution of the
agreements for operation of the olympic facilities and the Gore Mountain
ski center made pursuant to sections two thousand six hundred twelve and
two thousand six hundred fourteen of this title, those employees of  the
state  and  the  park district who are determined by the authority to be
essential to the operation  of  the  olympic  facilities  and  the  Gore
Mountain  ski  center  shall,  with the approval of the employer and the
employee, be transferred to the employment of 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. 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 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  state
civil service commission shall have the same status with respect thereto
after  transfer  to  the  authority  as  they  had  under their original
appointments.
2. (a) Within thirty days of execution of the agreement, entered  into
pursuant  to  subdivision four of section twenty-six hundred fourteen of
this title, provision shall be made for  the  transfer  to  the  olympic
regional  development  authority  of  all  current  employees engaged in
carrying out such functions with respect to the  operation,  maintenance
and  management  of  the  Belleayre  Mountain ski center. Such employees
shall be transferred without further examination or  qualifications  and
shall  retain  their  respective  civil service classifications, status,
salary, wages and  negotiating  unit,  if  any.  No  individual  who  is
transferred  shall  gain  any  additional  rights  as  a  result of such
transfer. However, once the employment of any transferred  employee  who
is  currently  placed  within  a  negotiating unit as defined by article
fourteen of the civil service law is terminated or otherwise ceases,  by
any means, any individual hired to fill such vacancy shall not be placed
in the same negotiating unit of the former incumbent but rather shall be
placed in the negotiating unit that contains employees of the authority.
(b)  The  salary  or  compensation  of  any such employees, after such
transfer, shall be paid by the authority. Notwithstanding the provisions
of this section, any such 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  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  employees,  shall  be  paid by the
authority.
