Can a warehouse assistant job advert ask for a nationality, gender or age?

Not for nationality, gender, religion or origin.

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.
