§  1210.  Employees. 1. Employees in the competitive and labor classes
  of the classified service in the employ of the board  of  transportation
  and  performing services in respect to subjects or matters, jurisdiction
  of which was transferred to the authority,  with  the  approval  of  the
  authority  shall be transferred to comparable positions in the employ of
  the authority; and, any officers and other employees of  such  board  of
  transportation may be so transferred and appointed by the authority.
2.  The  appointment,  promotion  and continuance of employment of all
  employees of the authority shall be governed by the  provisions  of  the
  civil  service  law  and  the  rules  of  the  municipal  civil  service
  commission of the city. Employees of any board, commission or department
  of the city may be transferred to  positions  of  employment  under  the
  authority in accordance with the provisions of the civil service law and
  shall  be eligible for such transfer and appointment without examination
  to such positions of employment. Employees who have  been  appointed  to
  positions  in  the  service of the city under the rules of the municipal
  civil service commission of the city shall have  the  same  status  with
  respect  thereto  after  transfer  to  positions of employment under the
  authority as they had under their original  appointments.  Employees  of
  the  authority  shall  be subject to the provisions of the civil service
  law.
3. Officers and employees of the city who are members or beneficiaries
  of any existing pension or retirement system shall continue to have  the
  rights,  privileges,  obligations and status with respect to such system
  or  systems  as  if  they  had  continued  in  their  city  offices   or
  employments.  Employment  by the authority shall constitute city service
  for the purposes of title B of chapter three of the administrative  code
  of  such city and the contributions required to be made by the authority
  pursuant to section B 3-20.0 of such code shall be an operating  expense
  of the authority.
4.  No  assignment  of,  or  power  of  attorney  to  collect or other
  instrument affecting, the whole or any part of his salary or earnings by
  an officer or employee of the authority, shall in  any  way  operate  to
  prevent  the payment of such salary or earnings directly to such officer
  or employee unless approved in writing by a person  duly  designated  by
  the  authority  for  such  purpose.  In the event of the payment of such
  salary or earnings directly to such officer or employee, notwithstanding
  the existence of an assignment of, or power of attorney  to  collect  or
  other  instrument  affecting, the whole or part thereof, not approved by
  such designated person,  no  person  shall  have  any  cause  of  action
  therefor against such authority for the recovery of any moneys by virtue
  of  such  unapproved  assignment,  power of attorney to collect or other
  instrument. Any such assignment, power of attorney or  other  instrument
  filed hereafter with the authority shall contain the name of the officer
  or  employee  affected thereby and his title or the position in which he
  is employed. The authority shall be entitled to receive  a  fee  of  two
  dollars  upon  the filing of such assignment, power of attorney or other
  instrument. In the event that such  assignment,  power  of  attorney  or
  other  instrument contains a provision to the effect that the same shall
  be  ineffective  unless  subsequent  written  notice  is  given  to  the
  authority  to  make deductions, the filing fee shall be fifty cents; and
  the filing fee of any such subsequent written notice to make  deductions
  in  accordance  with the terms of any such assignment, power of attorney
  or other instrument shall be one dollar and fifty cents. The filing  fee
  of  any  other notice or paper relating to any such assignment, power of
  attorney or other instrument shall be one dollar.
