§ 1500-g. Contract for employees. The authority is hereby authorized
to enter into contracts under which such contractor would provide
employees to the authority for the purpose of operation and maintenance
of the projects of the authority. All employees currently employed by
the city or by a contractor to support operations currently managed by
the city shall be retained by any contractor retained pursuant to this
section. The authority shall not begin operation of any project until
such a contract shall be in force. Such contract shall provide that all
employees engaged in the operation and maintenance of any authority
project shall be employees of the contractor and not employees of the
authority. Such employees shall receive their total compensation and any
employee benefits directly from the contractor for whom they are
employed provided any relevant local regulation, rule or ordinance
related to wage shall apply. Except for roles considered to be
management or confidential pursuant to article fourteen of the civil
service law, including the board of the authority, established by
section fifteen hundred-c of this title, the authority shall have no
employees other than the employees of the contractor pursuant to any
contract authorized by this section.
