- SECT 84
Transfer of officers
Any such officer who is not retained in the service of the Commonwealth
shall, unless he is appointed to some other office of equal emolument in the
public service of the State, be entitled to receive from the State any pension,
gratuity, or other compensation, payable under the law of the State on the
abolition of his office.
Any such officer who is retained in the service of the Commonwealth shall
preserve all his existing and accruing rights, and shall be entitled to retire
from office at the time, and on the pension or retiring allowance, which would
be permitted by the law of the State if his service with the Commonwealth were
a continuation of his service with the State. Such pension or retiring
allowance shall be paid to him by the Commonwealth; but the State shall pay to
the Commonwealth a part thereof, to be calculated on the proportion which his
term of service with the State bears to his whole term of service, and for the
purpose of the calculation his salary shall be taken to be that paid to him by
the State at the time of the transfer.
Any officer who is, at the establishment of the Commonwealth, in the public
service of a State, and who is, by consent of the Governor of the State with
the advice of the Executive Council thereof, transferred to the public service
of the Commonwealth, shall have the same rights as if he had been an officer of
a department transferred to the Commonwealth and were retained in the service
of the Commonwealth.
When any department of the public service of a State becomes transferred to
the Commonwealth, all officers of the department shall become subject to the
control of the Executive Government of the Commonwealth.
