The "Tinder leave" policy is causing a stir.

Whiteline Group, a company in Thailand, has announced that it will be giving employees paid time off to go on dates with their Tinder crushes. From July until the end of the year, employees can get a subsidy to go on dates. This is considered a company benefit.

When management revealed the initiative, employees reacted with surprise and awe. One employee shared a video saying she would take the opportunity to go on a daytime date. The date included a day-long picnic in the park with her crush.

After the video was posted, the online community discussed it nonstop.

It all started after an employee complained that she didn't have time to date. Hence, the "Tinder leave" was introduced.

Not only do employees get the day off to meet potential “matches,” Whiteline Group also pays for six-month Tinder Gold and Tinder Platinum subscriptions for its employees.

Tinder Gold allows users to see profiles that have liked them. They have unlimited likes and can match with people from all over the world .

Meanwhile, Tinder Platinum allows users to send a note with each "super like." Their profile will be shown to people they've liked, and they'll be promoted monthly to become one of the top profiles in their area for 30 minutes.

The reason why Whiteline Group's employee benefits are so good is because managers rely on the results of some studies that show that love increases happiness, thus making work more interesting. They also hope that employees who find their "other half" will also increase their productivity.

A 2023 study by Brendon McConnell at the University of Southampton found that "married people earn higher hourly wages than single people, a so-called marriage wage premium."

“The compensation for men has been around for a long time,” the study writes. “While for women, the relationship between marriage and wages has evolved from a penalty to a compensation over the decades.”
