Why 52?
A year of 366 days is 52 weeks and 2 days, so every weekday is guaranteed 52 appearances and the two spare days pick up a 53rd. In 2024 the spare days are Monday and Tuesday, and Friday is not among them, so it stays at 52.
Months with five Fridays
4 months in 2024 contain five Fridays: March, May, August, November. For weekly or fortnightly pay dated on a Friday, those are the months with an extra pay date.
