Haufe.de: Appearance in the workplace: What are employers allowed to specify?

This applies to specifications on body weight, hair length, fingernails or work clothes. Overweight people in particular are often disadvantaged, said Alexa Ahmad, CEO of pme Familienservice , in a recent interview. With the "Fat in Business" campaign, she opposes the exclusion of applicants or employees based on their body weight.
