Dating app Tinder now offers a 'leave of absence' feature, enabling users to exit their work commitments temporarily for dating purposes

In a modern twist to the traditional nine-to-five work schedule, the marketing firm Whiteline Group in Thailand has introduced a unique work perk - 'Tinder Leave'. This innovative policy allows employees to take time off work for a Tinder date.

According to a report by the New York Post, Whiteline Group provides six-month subscriptions to Tinder's Gold and Platinum services to all employees, making it easier for them to connect and arrange dates. The details of this policy, however, are a little vague.

The policy is not just about dating, but also about slowing down and enjoying moments outside of work. An employee from Whiteline Group, whose TikTok handle is @birthbutwithdim, recently shared her experience of using 'Tinder leave'. She spent her time cycling, snacking on watermelon, and having a sit-down meal.

Interestingly, the concept of 'Tinder leave' is not exclusive to Whiteline Group. Some companies are offering this as a new work perk, recognising the importance of maintaining a healthy work-life balance.

The announcement of Tinder's new height filter feature, currently in testing, sparked a lot of reaction online. However, the details of this feature are not provided in the article.

When reached out for comment regarding the 'Tinder leave' policy, Whiteline Group did not provide any further information. The article does not contain any information about the number of employees at Whiteline Group entitled to 'Tinder leave' or the duration of this leave for each employee.

Meanwhile, the Japanese tech company GINZA MONTHLY, which introduced the 'Tinder leave' holiday offer in Thailand, offers additional benefits such as counseling and financial support to enhance their employees' dating experiences.

As more companies embrace flexible work policies and unique work perks, it will be interesting to see if 'Tinder leave' catches on as a popular trend.
