Decisions assigning employees temporarily and transferring them. Their exclusion from the jurisdiction of the Administrative Circuit. Its condition. They must not contain within them a decision falling within that Circuit’s jurisdiction, such as a decision embodying a disguised disciplinary penalty. The criterion is whether the administration seeks by its decision the public interest, or to spite the employee or retaliate against him. What suffices in this regard.
