Can a sales representative job advert ask for a nationality, gender or age?

Not for nationality, gender, religion or origin. Article 4 of Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021 prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, colour, sex, religion, national or social origin or disability that impairs equal opportunity in employment. Rules that support Emirati participation in the labour market (Emiratisation) are not discrimination. Age is not on the Article 4 list, but our generator leaves it out too: it does not describe the job.
