§ 9. Personnel administration; collective bargaining; pension and\nretirement benefits; article fourteen civil service law; paragraph two\nhundred twenty labor law; personnel review board. 1. The corporation\nshall, upon ten days written notice appropriately posted in the health\nfacilities, promulgate rules and regulations consistent with civil\nservice law with respect to policies, practices, procedures relating to\nposition classifications, title structure, class specifications,\nexaminations, appointments, promotions, voluntary demotions, transfers,\nre-instatements, procedures relating to abolition or reduction in\npositions, for personnel employed by the corporation pursuant to section\nfive, subdivision twelve of this act, subject to the following\nexception. The New York city health and hospitals corporation shall\nemploy peace officers appointed pursuant to this subdivision to perform\nthe patrol, investigation, and maintenance of the peace duties of\nspecial officer, senior special officer and hospital security officer;\nprovided however that nothing in this subdivision shall prohibit\nmanagerial, supervisory, or state licensed or certified professional\nemployees of the corporation from performing these duties where they are\nincidental to their usual duties, or shall prohibit police officers\nemployed by the city of New York from performing these duties.\n Until the corporation adopts by-laws, rules and regulations relating\nto personnel administration the corporation shall administer its\npersonnel pursuant to the civil service law, the rules and regulations,\ntime and leave rules classification and compensation schedules, class\nspecifications and personnel orders of the New York city department of\npersonnel and civil service commission, and all other applicable\nprovisions of local or general laws relating to civil service personnel.\n 2.

It is\nfurther found that with respect to certain services provided for the\ncorporation by the voluntary hospitals and medical schools in the\nmunicipal hospitals of the city of New York, such administration\nproperly requires that employees performing those services be employed\nby the corporation.
